Kristy Sue (Nightengale) Crawford

It is with great sadness that the family of Kristy Crawford announces her passing.  Kristy passed away peacefully on August 7, 2018, at age 58 from natural causes. She was born on May 12, 1960 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Kristy was married to her soulmate and best friend, Rick Crawford on January 20, 1978.  They were blessed to have spent an amazing 40 years together, with a rare love that most people only dream of.  Rick loved to surprise her with new outfits and would sneak jewelry into her pockets. He was truly happiest when he was doing things for Kristy.

Kristy was such a kindhearted, caring soul which truly radiated from her.  She loved a good golf game with her husband, Rick and son, Kyde.  Some of her best memories were made on family vacations to Disney World, Hawaii and on countless cruises. Summertime was usually filled with weekend trips to Navajo Lake where friends and family gathered at a single campground.  Days were spent on the lake enjoying the water and sunshine and nights were filled with amazing food, reminiscing about days past, lots of games and campfires.

She is survived by her husband, Rick Crawford of Albuquerque; daughters, Kala Crawford, (Roger Hicks) of Rio Rancho, and Kendra Crawford of Albuquerque; son, Kyde Crawford, (Kacy Crawford) of Rio Rancho; granddaughters, Elli Sue Crawford, and Whisper Evans; grandsons, Brody Riley and Liam Riley; mother, Twila Barker; brothers, Guy Nightengale, (Teresa Nightengale), and Rusty Nightengale.

A visitation will be held Tuesday, August 14, 2018 at 12:00 p.m., followed by a Funeral Service at 1:00 p.m., at Calvary Church, 4001 Osuna Road NE, Albuquerque.

Interment will immediately follow at Sunset Memorial Park, 924 Menaul Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM. Please visit our online guestbook for Kristy at www.FrenchFunerals.com.
