Kristina Perscheid Obituary

Kristina Perscheid
June 1, 1988 - Feb. 12, 2014
Resident of Santa Cruz
Beloved daughter of Paula Wiesner and Michael Perscheid and stepdaughter of Richard Wiesner and Sylvia Perscheid. Forever loved by sisters Michele and Amanda, and brothers Jason, and David (who preceded her in death).
Born in Sacramento and resident of Santa Cruz, CA. Graduate of Our Lady of the Assumption School, St. Francis, H.S., and UC Santa Cruz where she received her B.S. degrees in Art History and Anthropology.
Kristina's immense love and respect for all people led her to begin a career in support services and career coaching for adults and children with disabilities.
Kristina was a talented artist, scholar, sports fan, loyal friend, and animal lover and is missed beyond belief. She loved walks on the beach, dining with friends, British mysteries and playing pinball.
Kristina died very unexpectantly from complications caused by foot surgery in January.

Kristina was one of my closest friends during and after high school. We maintained a long-distance friendship for many years, and every occasion spent together was fun and memorable. We could laugh and talk for hours on end. I am so grateful and lucky to have known her. I can't express how deeply sorry I am for her family.
