Kristen Renee Houghton, 25, of Lincoln, passed away at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln, on September 1, 2021.

Kristen was born on October 3, 1995, in Lincoln, the daughter of Robert Buffington and Stephanie Drummond. She married Timothy Houghton in July of 2018. He survives in Lincoln.

Kristen is also survived by her children, Leah Houghton, Jaxon Shawgo, and Cambria Houghton; her father, Robert (Rachelle Riggs) Buffington; her mother, Stephanie (Doug Ragland) Drummond-Murphy; her siblings, Erik Drummond, Johnathan (Jayna Baker) Murphy, Annastaja Buffington, Alyssa Buffington, Greyson Fisher, Raquelle (Demonte Ellis) Hyde, Emily Hyde, Elizabeth (Brian) Mosher, Randi Buse, and Daniel Buffington; her mother-in-law, Tonya Houghton; her sister-in-law, Andrea Houghton; her brother-in-law, Steven Houghton; her grandparents, Risa and David Riggs; and her numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Kristen was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Larry and Peggy Drummond; and her paternal grandmother, Sandra Buffington.
 

To say Kristen loved her family would be an understatement; her entire life was dedicated to her family especially her children. She and the love of her life Tim fought so hard to bring their beautiful baby, Cambria into this world. Her dedication to her family was outreaching, often scheduling family game nights that went into the morning hours. Kristen enjoyed spending time going to concerts and playing videos games. She had an inherent artistic ability in all aspects of her life, she would often be found filling in pages of her sketchbooks. Kristen loved all things Halloween; The Nightmare before Christmas was without a doubt her favorite movie.
