Kristina Hampshire

December 26, 1970 – October 18, 2010

Kristina Marie Hampshire was born in Hanford, on December 29, 1970. She was the oldest of five children. Our beloved daughter, granddaughter, sister and aunt lost her battle with cancer on Monday October 18, 2010. She was a real “trooper” and took comfort in knowing that her Papa was coming to take her to heaven. She has gone to live with the one she loved the most, Jesus. To know her was a blessing, for she was so selfless and kind. Always thinking of others, and so generous with her love, she never missed a chance to tell everyone “I’m praying for you” or “Jesus blesses you”. Her love was unconditional to her family, friends, and everyone she met. She was a very special young lady, her mother’s “Angel” who will forever hear the words “I love you Mommy”. She is preceded in death by her Papa, Ernie Rose of Hanford and her grandparents Chester and Delaney Hampshire of Hanford. She is survived by her parents, Tom and Deborah Barnett of Bakersfield; her father Larry Hampshire of Hanford; grandmother, Nadine Rose; sisters, Tonya and Jeff Faulkner of Hanford; Shanda Bynum of Bakersfield, Sarah Wilson of Arkansas; brother Rance and Karysta Wilson of Bakersfield; brother and sister Jason and Erika Hampshire of Hanford; nieces and nephews, Kastin, Kayla, Kimberly, Karley and Owen; her uncle and Godfather Ed Rose of Hanford; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

Our dearest Kristina, you touched so many lives, in so many ways. We will forever feel your beautiful heart and unconditional love with us where ever we go. We cherished all the little reminders you left behind to comfort us. We love you deeply and will miss you so much. We wait for the day that we are with you again. It won’t be long, we’ll be there in a second.
