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.
A memorial gathering will be held from 4:00-6:30pm
on Friday, September 10, 2021, at
Fricke-Calvert-Schrader Funeral Home, Lincoln. A
celebration of Kristen’s life will begin at 6:30pm
also at the funeral home. A graveside service will
be held at 10:00am on Saturday, September 11, 2021,
