Krystal was born in Peru Indiana, on June 8, 1962, at Dukes Memorial Hospital. She went on to attend Fort Wayne International Business College and University of Evansville. She then went on to have a very successful career in sales.

In addition to her family, she had the best of times with her close friends, Holly Forbes. Debra Conger, Debbie Saylor, Tally Ennen, & Laura Sullivan.

Krystal was a devote Christian who lived life to the fullest. There was never a room she didn't light up, or a person whom she met that wasn't considered family. She enjoyed crocheting, reading, playing darts/cards, volunteering, and praising Jesus. Above all else, she loved spending time with her family, especially her girls and grandkids. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all that knew her.
