'Krysti'




Krysti Lyn Forsyth
ST. GEORGE - Krysti Lyn Forsyth, age 42, passed from this earth life on June 19, 2009. Krysti was born the second of eight children to Joseph Allen Walker and Bonnie G. Curtis on February 17, 1967 in Lakeview, Oregon. Krysti married Bryan J. Forsyth in the St. George LDS Temple on August 26, 1986.
Krysti spent her early years in West Valley, Utah. In 1976, Krysti moved with her family to New Harmony, Utah. From her parents, and in that gentle community, Krysti was shown great love. This love and understanding made a significant impact on her life and she tried to share that same love and understanding with all she met.
Krysti was a valiant member of The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints and felt a special bond between her and the young women she mentored during her 13 years in Hurricane, Utah. Krysti was passionate about art and interior design. This passion was reflected in her furniture refinishing, oversize clock making, and her oil paintings.
Krysti is survived by her husband, Bryan J. Forsyth and her three children; Zachary, Brenna, and Anna.
She is also survived by her father, Joseph Allen (Marleen)Walker; four brothers and three sisters: Charles S. (Melissa) Walker, Margaret (Curtis) Anderson, Jeanette (Darren) Woolsey, Matthew (Kami) Walker, Jacob (Tiffany) Walker, Benjamin (Teri) Walker, and Sandra (Michael) Brunson.

How did she die? She is very young.

I'm Stitching as fast as I can said...

Yes, just a few years older than you.
We were at girls camp. The girls went to do some activities and her and Christie Jones went to a cabin to have a shower. After they had showered Krysti was putting on her make-up. Christie J said, "I'll go feed the horses, come out on the porch when your ready."
It was taking longer than they thought. The door was locked and she didn't answer them. Kevin took the door knob off and opened the door.
She had her make-up all put in the bags and was laying on the floor, as if she had just laid down to go to sleep. There was no struggle, no blood, just very peaceful.
They sent her body to SLC for an autopsy, they didn't find a reason.
Zach her son, (Shella's boyfriend) had 6 weeks left on his mission. She was so proud of him and so excited for him to come home.
It was a hard decision for him. But it was taken out of his hands. Through the chain of command, President Monson was made aware of the situation. He said, "Send the Boy home."
They picked him up at the airport this afternoon at 4:25 and the viewing started at 6:00. How bittersweet for him.
Can't even imagine. All of Krysti's sisters look alike, but there is one, that is almost frightening as she looks so much like her, even her actions.
Kinda like you and Kristina.
Krysti is the one who painted my kitchen table as a surprise.
She will be greatly missed.
She is my good friend and to many many people.

Very, Very sad, and they don't know why?

As of now they do not know.
And Lorraine is in a coma and not expected to last through the night.
This is all too sad.
