Memorial Fund for Crystal Lynne Grauke

Hi, my name is Kristen Gorrindo and I am a cousin of Crystal’s. I am arranging this GofundMe on behalf of my grieving family.

On August 11, 2022, Crystal Lynne Grauke tragically passed away, just a month shy of her 40th birthday. She was a victim of domestic violence and succumbed to her catastrophic injuries from multiple, previous incidents.

Crystal was a remarkable woman. She was a loving and caring mother, daughter, sister, aunt, niece, cousin and friend. She was stunningly beautiful, and had the prettiest blue eyes. If you knew her, you knew that she loved with her whole heart. She had a way of lighting up a room with humor and her laugh was infectious. She was a dedicated healthcare worker and dreamed of further pursuing her career as a nurse.

However, Crystal’s greatest joy was being called mom by her two young, beautiful girls, Kayleena and Brooklynn. Crystal worked tirelessly, as a single-mother, to give them every opportunity for a beautiful life, and while they must now go on, without their biggest support, we turn to you to help relieve any financial burden this tragedy has caused them.

All funds raised will be donated in full to assist with funeral arrangements and ongoing needs of the girls as they learn to navigate this unfathomable reality and take time to heal. Please share this link if you know someone who would feel inclined to help.
