She loved God deeply, and her unwavering faith in Him carried her through life’s greatest challenge’s, filling her heart with strength, peace and hope; all while inspiring those around her. She was soft-hearted and deeply caring, she gave love freely and made everyone feel welcomed and valued. She was genuine, honest, and beautifully herself, always finding reasons to smile, laugh and spread happiness to others. Her warm heart, kind spirit, and genuine love for others touched so many.

Her memory lives on through her children, Sharnae Craig and Michael Craig; her grandsons, Jeffery Johnson and Henry Schiefer; her brothers, Joseph Gustinis and Bryan Gustinis; her sisters, Holly Gustinis and Kerrie Gustinis; her niece, Taylor Gustinis; and her nephew, Daniel Gustinis.
