Friends and Family who knew Crystal say she never knew a stranger and had such a big heart. She loved people and life.

Surviving is one son Corley Brean (Yvonne) of Toronto, Ohio, daughter Sara Bennett (Christopher) of Gahanna, Ohio, stepson, Keith Myers of French Creek, W.Va. and stepson, Michael Myers, who preceded her in death.
