Cristal was a loving daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and sister.  She was always there when needed, offering support, wisdom, and love in abundance.  Cristal's pleasant personality was contagious to everyone she met.  Her battle with cancer in the recent years showed her courage in facing life challenges with a smile.  "Those who touch our lives stay in our hearts forever.'' Cristal was greatly loved by her family and will be deeply missed by them.

She was preceded in death by her mother, Betty Ingram Mooney.
