I lived up around the corner from Kristy. We would see each other in Kroger and always have a conversation. We exchanged our health issues. I last saw her there with one of the girls. I was shocked and saddened to learn of her death from a Kroger employee. I had just put an invitation in her mailbox to come to our neighborhood Christmas party. She was a delightful and brave person. She will be missed. My condolences to all the family.
Ms. Carroll, May you rest in peace. Always a smile on your face that welcomed me into your home. You will be greatly missed. Love and prayers to you, Jill, and your whole family. Love you dearly.

So very sorry about Kristy Sue. I taught her in Sunday School when she was but a small girl. Her Mom and sisters were a joy to be around. God Bless
I will miss my friend and co-worker. She was a hoot who would help anyone in need. She always went the extra mile. Loved her sassynness and frankness. She will be missed by many. I was blessed to have Kristy as a friend. She brought you girls up right. She loved y'all and those grandbabies more than life itself. She was such a strong woman and fought hard. It was time for her to rest. She is no longer in pain and watching over her loved ones. Prayers to you all. You had a wonderful mother who touched many who will remember her always. God bless y'all and give you comfort in the years ahead. She will always be with you.
It is so sad losing another friend and ABCBS family member. Kristy will be greatly missed. Our visits in person and by phone over the pass year while we both went through treatment was a blessing to me. Her dry wit never failed to make me laugh and somehow made me stronger. My heart goes out to her family. Rest in peace, Kristy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Kristy as a Kroger customer. I always enjoyed saying hello when in the store. I missed her when she left there and always look over at the customer service while walking by. We became friends, and visited by phone a few times during her illness. I was really saddened when I saw the paper yesterday. She fought the good fight and now we can be glad that she is at peace.
God Bless her family!
So sorry for your lost. She definately will be missed. I will always cherish the time we spent together and enjoyed having her as a patient and a friend. The family is in my prayers. Rest in Love.
Rest in peace. I'm going to miss your beautiful smile at Krogers.
I am so sorry to hear of Kristy's passing. She was a one of a kind woman and I so enjoyed working with her back in the 1990's at Blue Cross. May God bless her family.
There is nothing I can say here that all of us that knew and loved Kristy didn't already know. I'll say it anyway. She was such a pleasure to work with. I was always greeted by that "amazing" smile. She would be more than happy to talk shop with you if you wanted, but she seemed to always make it a point to ask me how my day was and how I was doing. I loved her sense of humor. I originally worked with Whitney and then Lindsey before realizing that Kristy was their mother. Lets not forget Jill either. Kristy thought so much of her immediate and extended family. She was so proud of her daughters, grandchildren, son in laws, and soon to be grandchildren and son in law. Before I am rightfully accused yet again of being a little long winded I just want to say may God bless you and your family, loved ones, and co-workers. To Kristy these would all fall into the same category.
I got to know Kristy at Kroger as one of her customers. She had a great spirit and sense of fun. I will miss seeing her there. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. God bless.
I didn't know Kristy a long time,but considered her a friend.I am sure many felt that way. I first met her at Kroger. We have mutual friends (Misty Watts and her Mom) She loved talking about her family especially her little granddaughter.She will be missed,always had a smile and encouraging word. My sympathies go out to her dear family.
I am glad to have known you for 12 years as a co-worker and friend.... You will always be in my heart... Love and miss you!!
Kristy was such a wonderful person...always a smile. She will be missed. My prayers are with the family and friends who loved her.
Girls, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a good friend. She was a woman of character and compassion and a real fighter!. I know it is trite to say but contact me if I can help in anyway.
I am sorry for your loss.Kristy was a strong,amazing woman and I believe her daughters are too.I feel blessed for having known her and her family.love and prayers.
I work with kristy at Kroger she was always nice every time I was around her for the time she was there I am sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear about your Mom. God bless your family. We love you all. We will miss Kristy. Danny and Mildred
Dear Kristy, You will be so missed. I admire you for your courage, generosity, and love of life. Much love, Lucy
Kristy
Working with you and getting to know you was a real pleasure. We miss your smile and your can do spirit. God be with your family and friends as we mourn your passing. Thank you for always giving me a smile to pass along
Ms Kristy was such a sweet wonderful lady. I had the pleasure of working with her for almost 10 years when I worked at BCBS. She took me under her wing (I was all of 19 yrs old) and helped me. I have always been thankful to her. She will be missed. Prayers for your family
I had the honor of working with and becoming friends with Kristy when I worked at ABCBS. We have grown apart in the past 10 years, but she remains one of my favorite people I met during my tenure. Kristy was loving and kind to all. My thoughts and prayers are with her girls and their families.
God has another angel in heaven now that Kristy has passed. She will be missed by all you knew her and others, as I, are grateful that she touched our life's while she was here with us. My sympathies to her daughters.
Jill, Lindsey and Whitney my heart aches for you as I know how much you will miss your Mom’s guidance, love and support. Heaven is rejoicing in her home coming but those of us that love her here will miss her wit, courage, the sparkle in her eye and that ever present common sense and practicality. I and so many others admire her for all of those reasons and more. Through our friendship she met my Dad who loved going into Kroger and razzing her...boy could she keep up with him!!! I like to think he met her at heavens door and they are back to cutting up and giving each other a hard time. I know she will be loving and protecting you until you see her again. I pray that you be comforted now and all those times in the future that you so wish she was here.
God Bless this dear woman. I knew both of her girls and she raised two wonderful people. Rest In Love
It was an honor to work with her and know her for the time I worked at Blue Cross. God Bless you all, you will be in my thoughts and prayers. She was so kind and had such a good sense of humor.
Kristy was such a good person with one of the biggest hearts for all she came in contact with... Her caring nature made her so special to all who knew her. I pray that each family member may find comfort in HIS loving arms.
Kristy, my Friend! How fortunate was I to have you as a good Friend. You lifted my spirits every time I saw you. I am thankful for working with you for 34 years at ABCBS . You will be missed. I will pray for the family to be given the strength to get through this very difficult time. God will Bless you all.
I just want to say that I feel fortunate to have known Kristy and that I will miss her. I know Kristy from working at ABCBS. We talked mostly on the phone. She made work fun. I always looked forward to working on a project with Kristy. I will always remember her.
Kristy was a strong fighter, she always greeted everyone with a smile. It was such a joy seeing her and visiting with her at ABCBS. She had a wonderful personality and will truly be missed. I know she is rejoicing and in no more pain now. My prayers to you all and may God strengthen you during this difficult time and in the days ahead.
Kristy was a co-worker and friend for many years. She was a loving person. She was always there for us. We are praying for Jill, Lindsay, Whitney and all the family. Kristy is definitely in a better place. She is not suffering anymore. She fought a valiant fight.
I got to know Kristy through her sister Robin after Robin caught up with me after looking for me for 40 years as i was doing the same. My thoughts are with the family. I heard beautiful stories about Kristy through Robin. Sorry for your loss Kathy Tanner

I met Kristy 17 years ago when I worked with Jill her daughter. What a lovely woman. We went to her place and caught fish had a lot of laughs. During this time I found out Kristy would give Platelets in care of my children. I will ever be so greatful. What a caring and kind woman. God bless her family
Kristy was a strong and amazing woman and will be greatly missed. My prayers and love are with her girls as they deal with the loss of their sweet mother.

Sure gonna you Kristy. Always fun to see you at Kroger. Gonna miss your beautiful smile. You are going to surely brighten up Heaven for sure.
So sorry for your loss. Kristy was always a fun person to work with at Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield. It was a pleasure.
Kristy was a truly unique person with her
great strength and witty disposition and it
was such a pleasure to have known her
and been her friend.
When i visited her and the girls many years ago we caught a big catfish in the lake beside her house and i will never forget her nailing that fish to a tree and cleaning it and laughing at my big eyes since i had never seen that before. She cooked it and it was wonderful-just like she was. my thoughts and prayers to the family.
Kristy will be missed so much by many! I always loved seeing the twinkle in her eyes whenever she talked about her daughters and grandkids. She could also roll those eyes but you could still see the love she had for her family even then!
She fought a long battle and is no longer hurting. Kroger has not been the same since she retired and now it isn't the same without her popping in now and then!
Lindsey, Jill & Whitney, you and your families are in my prayers and thoughts!
Love you guys!
My prayers & thoughts are with the family during this difficult time. Kristy will be missed. God be with you.
Kristy was true friend and always had a smile on her face. Your battle is won mu dear so now you must go. It will be hard especially for the girls but we too must learn how to move on. We love you Kristy. Goodbye for now because we will see you again one day.
My heart has broken with the passing of Kristy. She was one in a million and always did for others, never for herself. She was a friend, co-worker and the greatest mom and grandmom her family could ever ask for. Jill, Whitney and Lindsey know that your mom is keeping everyone laughing in Heaven. She will always be with you and will never be forgotten by those she touched. Love you all.
I Knew Kristy from being a customer at Krogers for many years. She was so friendly and helpful..after time it was like she was a friend and not an employee! Wonderful woman!
Kristy's smile was so sweet. Some mornings we would walk in together. So was so caring and easy to talk to. I loved her laugh.
Love & Prayers to Jill, Lindsey, Whitney and family. I am blessed that I got to know Kristy and I will always remember her smiling face in customer service at Kroger. May God
give you peace and strength in the days to come. RIP Kristy.
Lindsay and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Kristy fought a hard battle and I know she could not have done it without the love and support of her girls. She has touched many lives and has made lasting memories. Knowing that we will see her again in heaven, helps to keep us strong. My prayers are with you. God Bless.
I worked with Kristy when I first started at ABCBS. She was a friend to all and she will be missed. My prayers are with her family.
