Kristy was a fireball filled with so much spunk and zest for life. She never met a stranger and all who met her loved her instantly. She would light up a room with that gorgeous smile and sassy sway. She had a love for the water whether it was the lake or the beach. Give her a chair and a beer and she was a happy girl. Kristy was an amazing mother to two beautiful daughters, a loving wife to a man that loved her more than life itself, and an amazing friend who never failed to make you feel like family. Their outings on their Harley was another passion and hobby she truly enjoyed. She said she “felt free” and would spread her arms like wings.
Kristy wore many hats. She helped run her husband's business along with managing her daughter’s music career. She started her own company Steel Magnolia Management, a social media/artist management company.
Kristy was an extremely active advocate and very passionate about the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Putting together fundraisers such as a chili cook off that is running 6 years strong and still going. Kristy gave it her all and did everything with 150% and at 200 MPH. She was a knockout, beautiful, brilliant bombshell. Kristy has left a hole in all of our hearts and she will be extremely missed but I think it’s safe to say that she has left her mark on this world. Take a bow “Wonder Woman”, you’ve earned it.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, 1122 Lady Street, Suite 640 Columbia, SC 29201.
