Kristina graduated from Jacksonville High School in Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1997. She later moved to Pinellas Park, Florida, where she pursued a career in emergency dispatch and paralegal services.
Kristina was a fun loving, free spirit who enjoyed her independence. Her optimistic outlook and "I can do it" attitude carried her through life and helped her reach her goals. She had a caring soul and was known to take in a stray dog or cat and leaves behind her fur babies Destin, Raylon, and Lucy. Being an aquarius, her interests were wide and various, and she absorbed information with a passion. She enjoyed music of all genres and loved to dance. She was loyal to no end and once you were her friend, you were a friend for life. She would do anything to help someone in need. Her happiest times were with family and friends, especially spoiling her nieces and nephews. She will be dearly missed by all. Her favorite spot on Earth was the beach at Shell Island off the Florida coast, and this is where she will spend eternity.
There will be a celebration of life service at Calvary Christian Fellowship Church in Shamrock on Saturday, July 18, 2020 at 11:00 AM followed by a luncheon for family and friends in the Fellowship Hall.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the ASPCA.
