Krystle Marie Lynn

March 10, 1986 - Nov. 21, 2008


Published/Last Modified on Tuesday, Nov 25, 2008 - 05:17:09 am MST

Krystle Marie Lynn, 22, of Sierra Vista, Ariz., was a very strong and courageous young lady who lost her long battle with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma surrounded with love by her family and friends on Friday, Nov. 21, 2008, at University Medical Center in Tucson, Ariz.

Krystle was born in Hackettstown, N.J., on March 10, 1986, to David Lynn and Denise Plumb.

She graduated in December 2002 from the Center for Academic Success high school in Sierra Vista. While still in high school, she also attended Cochise College and became a Certified Nurse Aide.



She went on to complete her state boards and was hired on at the Hacienda Care Center in Sierra Vista, where she took real pride and enjoyed knowing she was taking care of the elderly.

Krystle has continued to take several other courses throughout the years at Cochise College.

She was taking online courses, so she could continue her studies while in the hospital.

Krystle had many ambitions — from wanting to become a lawyer to a forensic scientist. But more than anything, she wanted to be a wonderful mother to her beautiful daughter, Cipriana, and a loving wife to Anthony, whom she was to wed in April 2009.

Krystle had a huge heart and wanted to love everyone; most recently leaving a huge impression on a lot of people on the value of life and not to take it for granted.

She had a beautiful spirit and was willing to help any way she could.

She was so intelligent, motivated, strong-willed and succeeded at anything she put her mind to, with the exception of this aggressive cancer.

She was so loved by such a large family of wonderful aunts, uncles and cousins. She will be dearly missed by her very best friend, Cassandra Vik; her dear friend and mentor, Sandee Garcia-Mejia; and many, many friends.

Krystle is survived by her fiancé, Anthony Gasson and her beautiful 4-year-old daughter, Cipriana Marie Lynn Gasson of Sierra Vista; her mother and stepfather, Denise and Tim Plumb of Douglas, Ariz.; father, David Lynn of Sierra Vista; brothers, Jesse Lynn of Sierra Vista and Michael Lynn of Douglas; stepbrother, Jon (Lynette) Plumb and her niece, Hannah Plumb of Douglas; stepbrother, Daniel Plumb of Colorado; stepsister, Rebecca (Michael) Soto and niece Leah Soto and nephew Timothy Soto of Tucson, Ariz.; stepsister, Kara Plumb of Oregon; and many, many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 25, 2008, at Hatfield Funeral Home, 830 S. Highway 92 in Sierra Vista.

Mass services will be held at noon, Wednesday, Nov. 26, 2008, at St. Andrew the Apostle Catholic Church, 800 Taylor Drive, in Sierra Vista.

Interment will follow at Cochise Memory Gardens, 5590 Charleston Road, Sierra Vista.

The Krystle Lynn Benefit will be held at Applebee’s “Dine to Donate” on Dec. 1, 2008, from 4 until 8 p.m. in Sierra Vista.

In lieu of flowers, an account has been set up for “Cipriana Marie Lynn Gasson” at the Bank of America in Sierra Vista.

Psalm 23 — A Psalm of David

The Lord is my shepherd;

I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures;

He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul;

He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For You are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

All the days of my life;

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord

Forever.

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,

Mama’s gonna buy you a mockingbird.

And if that mockingbird won’t sing,

Mama’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.

If that diamond ring turns to brass,

Mama’s gonna buy you a looking glass.

If that looking glass gets broke,

Mama’s gonna buy you a billy goat.

If that billy goat won’t pull,

Mama’s gonna buy you a cart and bull.

If that cart and bull turns over,

Mama’s gonna buy you a dog named Rover.

If that dog named Rover won’t bark,

Mama’s gonna buy you a horse and cart.

If that horse and cart falls down,

You’ll still be the sweetest little baby in town.

I am always with you and love you Cipriana.

— Love Mommy

    " Krystal, I worked with you at McDonalds for awhile and I fell in love with Cepriana when I first met her at the grocery store after she was born. You probably didn't remeber me but I remembered you and when I found out about your cancer, I prayed for you all the time. Now you are in a better place and I will never forget you or your beautiful spirit. You are a very strong woman and shall live on as inspiration for others. RIP Krystal. Your family will remain in my prayers. "

    " Dear Krystle,
    I loved you and Cipriana the minute I met the two of you and I know that you are in a better place now but the pain still kills everyone else that loved you so dearly and I wish the very best for little Cipriana... I only wish that my family could have gotten to see at least one more time. "

    " I knew Krystle, and considered her a friend. She was always nice to be around. She will be missed by a great number of people. My condolences to all the family. "

    " Even though I did not know this young woman, my heart goes out to her family.
    A friend of mine Dawn passed away from Acute Lymphocitic Leukemia after 1 1/2 years of battling ALL. Although I miss here terribly and Krystle will be missed terribly I believe that it is their way of beating this disease. God rid both of them from their pain and will now make her is angel just as he did with Dawn. "
