Kristina Hill LeMond
September 15, 1988 – May 1, 2013
Kristina Hill LeMond (Kristy), loving daughter and sister of Barry, Kathy and Kevin, passed away peacefully May 1, 2013, at home. She was 24 years old. Surrounded by loved ones, Kristy left this earth as she lived, with grace, love and compassion.
Kristy was a 2007 graduate of Issaquah High School, where she was a four-year varsity volleyball player, and a 2011 graduate of the University of Washington. The friends she made during her lifetime are too many to count, as her loyalty, selflessness and compassion were a magnet to anyone she met. She loved people, loved to laugh and loved life. It is as simple as that.
The Lord put a love for children in Kristy’s heart at a young age and she followed that calling right up to her death. During the last two years, Kristy travelled to the Dominican Republic, Tanzania and Chile, volunteering and working with children. More than anything, she wanted to make a difference in their lives, showing them the love, caring and joy she felt because of them. Kristy left an imprint on these children through her infectious smile and unconditional love.
