Chrystal Lyn Raderstorf was surrounded by her loving family when she passed away at 7:06 AM, Sunday June 2, 2024.  This followed a brave and valiant battle with cancer.

On June 9, 1972, Chrystal Lyn Holloway was born to Robert Lee "Opie" and Lyn Ann Metheny Holloway.  A few years later she was joined by a brother  Robert Lee III.  Chrystal graduated from Rochester High School with the class of 1990.

With a strong work ethic and a heart for helping others, Chrystal was the business office manager of Rochester's Life Care Center. In earlier years she was a member of the Wednesday night women's bowling league at Quick's Lanes and a member of the ladies of the Manitou Moose Lodge. She enjoyed watching the Big Bang Theory and Law and Order SUV.  Her favorite college teams were the navy blue, green and gold fighting Irish of Notre Dame!

An avid reader, Chrystal enjoyed diverse themes including thrillers, mysteries and romance. Her favorite authors were Nora Roberts,  J.D. Robb and Janet Evanovich.  She treasured her visit to the state of Maine, the visual imagery and the many happy memories it brought while searching in this locale for her Prince Charming.  Chrystal also took great joy in her adventures with Andi Gump as a concessionaire at festivals and fairs selling the "Little Red Barn," iconic Elephant Ears.  To relax she occasionally partook of Jose Cuervo Silver, knowing that sometimes Tequilla makes your clothes fall off.  🙂

Life is a Beach!  Chrystal fondly enjoyed visiting Mexico Beach, Florida with Kimmy and Ron.  She also holds many memories of other beach adventures at various locales.  Chrystal is remembered as always being the life of the party.  She enjoyed a variety of genre of music, going to concerts and dancing the nights away!

Tori was Chrystal's bestie; with a beautiful mother-daughter bond they made many memories together.  There were movie nights, girl's days out with hairstyles,  shopping and always a meal with lots of laughter.  They created a special texting game with their shared passion for movies called "Quizzing Movie Quotes."

Left to cherish Chrystal's memory are a daughter, Tori Raderstorf and fiancée Eric Gumino; brother Robert "Lee" Holloway III and wife Keri Jackson of Hammond; cousin (sis) Kimberly "Sue Sue" Zellers and companion Ron; and great friend like a sister Andi "Gump" Schwarte; she looked forward to the October 2024 arrival of Nico "Finny" Gumino making her a first time Gammy; an aunt Gloria "Ann" Chapel of Kokomo; a cousin to Susan Meissnest and husband Kurt, Deanna Kay Johnson;  nieces and nephews Branden Karl Johnson, Carly Rose Zellers, Kylie Frances Brook Johnson; and her treasured canine companion "Ruby Tues," her Golden Retriever.

Preceding Chrystal in death are her parents Robert Lee "Opie" Holloway and Lyn Ann Holloway on July 1, 2004; an aunt Karen Johnson; two uncles: Carl Johnson and Larry Chapel; and passing to Rainbow Bridge  "Sadie Girl," the Collie-Golden Retriever special blend.

Following Chrystal's wishes a private celebration of life will take place.   Memorials in lieu of flowers may be made to the Fulton County Animal Shelter, 1540 Wentzel Street, Rochester, IN  46975.
