Kristen’s love for people was evident. She loved her family, coworkers, friends, and truly enjoyed caring for people as a nurse. She was a an amazing daughter who was filled with love, kindness, compassion, and was extremely strong in every way.
She love to travel and was always up for new adventures, but at the end of the day, Kristen was truly a homebody. When she wasn’t working or spending time with her close friends, she loved being at home spending time with her extended family and her animals.
Our lives and hearts are forever changed by Kristen’s love, compassion, dedication, strength, and graciousness. She was truly one of a kind.
Our most beloved treasure has left our family and we will miss her deeply.
