Chrystal was not only a devoted mother to her 6 kids but a very proud grandmother to her 10 grandchildren. She leaves behind two sisters Lisa Trejo and Felicia Rodolfo. Chrystal was a friend, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, a daughter but most importantly a mother. Chrystal loved her technology. She would stay up until 3 or 4 in the morning playing video games with her children. Gathering family together to play dominos was her go to thing to create memories with all her family. Mom was always looking for ways to bond with her children, even if it meant going to downtown Fort Worth and playing Pokémon go. She never lost sight of family because it meant so much to her. Holidays were her favorite time of the year because she could be surrounded by all of her loved ones. She looked forward to the noise and chaos that her grandchildren caused. She would always say that a house full of screaming children was better than one in silence.
