Kristen Craven's Celebration of Life

Kristen Craven, an inspiring young woman at 22, was known for her caring, helpful, and inspiring attitude, while always having the ability to welcome others into her life. Kristen had an extraordinary way of holding her friends and family in the highest regard, consistently prioritizing their happiness. She was known for loving art of all types, traveling, Asian Culture (she was part Filipino), K-Pop music and singing karaoke. She loved her school NMSU, Beta Alpha Psi, and most of all, Delta Sigma Pi where she held the position of President this year. She sat on national committees, visited so many different conferences this year, and made new friends everywhere she went.

Now she is embarking a new journey, she will join her Grandmother, Kathy Craven, grandparents, Ron and Cece Craven and her Uncle Cornell Guillermo. She is survived by her parents, Patty and Chris Craven, her sister Katie Craven, Thomas Wilkinson, and her aunts, uncles and cousins.

With Kristen's sudden passing, it has caught our family in an unprepared moment of grief. Witnessing our parents bear this financial strain would only add to the family sorrow, a situation Kristen would have dreadfully wished to spare us from. It is our desire to honor Kristen with a memorial that fits her spirit and so we turn to you for support in saying our goodbyes. Many friends and family have asked if they can help with financial support, so with a heart full of gratitude, I reach out, seeking donations to cover the funeral costs. Any contribution, no matter the size, would be deeply appreciated by our family. If your heart guides you to help, we cannot thank you enough for the support during this time. We will never stop missing and loving you Kristen.
