Krista Labbe

Krista L. (Pazdernik) Labbe, 42, of Liberty Hill, Texas, passed away unexpectedly on 23 October 2023.
Krista was born in Alexandria, MN, in 1981 to Tonya and Irvan Pazdernkik. She has two brothers, Michael and Jamie. As a child, some might have called her a tomboy because of the way she kept up with her brothers. When not with her brothers, she could be found at the local dance studio or playing soccer.
She was hyperproductive, willing to work three jobs to pay for her exceptional wardrobe. She was brilliant, earning an ROTC scholarship. And she was wildly athletic, earning a second scholarship after walking on her university's soccer team.
Krista married Jamahl E. Labbe on December 28, 2010, in Ashville, North Carolina. Despite challenging Army assignments, they built a loving and supportive family.
After earning a nursing degree from Viterbo University, Krista joined the US Army Nurse Corps. Serving for twenty years, including a deployment to Afghanistan, she earned the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Early in her career, she was assigned to Labor and Delivery and fell in love with the field. She pursued her passion and attended the University of Utah's Midwifery Doctorate of Nursing Specialty Program. Upon graduation, she served as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, aka a Midwife.
Krista's three children, Paul, Harper, and Adison, meant the world to her. She loved nothing more than spending time together and creating memories.
Krista had a life-long and ever-deepening relationship with God.
A funeral service will be held in her honor on Friday, Nov 3rd, at 10:00 a.m., at Beck Funeral Home, 1700 E. Whitestone Blvd, Cedar Park. Visitations start at 9:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to Project Overwatch, where Krista served as the Project Coordinator.
Krista is our beloved wife, mother, and guiding light. She was a daughter, little sister, dear friend, colleague, and mentor to many people. Her loss profoundly saddens us all. We invite our friends and family to join us in celebrating her life.
Services will be Live Streamed.
