Crystal Gayle Smith Evans, age 29 of Pulaski passed away Thursday, December 23, 2010.

Born October 1, 1981 in Radford, she is the daughter of Richard Lewis Smith and Phyllis Gayle Slate Owen. She is preceded in death by Grandparents, Columbus & Ida Bell Viars Slate; Elwood Smith and Uncles, William "Bill" Slate, Rodney Sheppard and Larry Smith.

From the time Crystal was born, she had a personality that could not be missed. She had a great sense of humor that always kept everyone laughing and the kindest heart. She was always quick to forgive, she never stayed mad at anyone for long and gave to anyone in need. The day she left us we knew our family would never be the same, there are no words to describe how much she will be missed.
