Crystal graduated from South High School and attended Quinsigamond College. Before her passing she worked for U-MA Transplant Services for many years.
Crystal shared her life with her four children; Ashaunti O. Carpenter; Daquon D. Campbell and five month-old twins boys Kenji & Kameron Carpenter.

Her grandparents Calvin Ford; Beverly Smith and Annett Carpenter-Tucker are at a loss without her presence. She is survived by her step-father, Eugene J.
