9, 1959 in Phoenix, AZ, where she lived for the majority of her life. She graduated from Arizona State
University with a degree in Marketing, and then moved to Los Angeles where she met her husband
Edward. Later, the two moved back to Phoenix to be closer to family and establish a home of their own,
where she eventually gave birth to her daughter Eden. Kristen worked several years at Hewlett Packard
and Agilent Technologies, then moved into real estate as an agent. She loved watching sports, trying
new restaurants, and spending quality time with her cat Becca. She was always happy to celebrate, and
many knew her for her generosity, sense of humor, and loving presence.
She is survived by her husband Edward, her daughter Eden and her husband Daniel, her brothers John
and his wife Carolyn and their children Max, Brian, and Emma and her brother Steve and his children
Allen, Rachel and Kevin, and her mother Vida.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to St. Mary’s Food Bank, an organization that Kristen loved.
