I do not live in Weber County anymore, but just happened to check the Standard Examiner for obituaries. My heart sank when I saw Krys's name. I worked with her at Highland Middle School in the early 1990's. She was such a wonderful person who loved the kids. My deepest condolences to her family. She loved you very, very much. Family was so important to her. I also know how she loved her dogs. They will miss her, I am sure.
Sincerely,
Marshal Garrett

Krys, it's hard to believe you gone, we met years ago and became great friends. Anytime I needed someone to talk to I could always count on you any problem big or small. Your heart was one of the biggest. I'm so sorry that you had to leave this place at such a young age, god must of had bigger plans for you. I will never forget how you impacted my life and so many others.
Love always
Crystal

Krys was my daughter' school counselor from kindergarten through last year. She was a dedicated child advocate and friend to her students and their families. She served lovingly and diligently at Dee School from Emelia's kinder through fourth grade year, where she fearlessly supported my daughter and our family through mild and great challenges alike. When Emelia transferred to Taylor Canyon last year, it was such a blessing that Krys began working there half time - seemed like fate for

Mrs.Knight was a very inspiring person and loved everyone. She always helped me when something bad happened or when someone I cared about was getting bullied. She put everything aside to help me when I needed her. She would be there for me even if I just wanted some company, I grew up in a family that was different from everyone else. I would go to school and everyone would make fun of me because of it.I am very very

Krys was a caring advocate for kids. Her dedicated years in one of the most highly impacted school in the state is commendable. In her soft spoken way , with her sweet smile, she spent years and years making the world a better place for 100's of children. I also worked at Dee School and understand the work, time and commitment she had to Ogden's Youth. God bless you Krys and give you peace.

Krys always had a smile on her face and never forgot anyone's name. She was very personable no matter how hectic her schedule was, she made sure that she made time for you. I know that Krys is in a wonderful place without any pain or suffering. I am sure she is loving it being reunited with her loved ones. I know she will be missed by many people.
We love you Krys!

Krys was such a great friend. We had so much fun in high school. She was always full of fun and excitement. I am so glad to have been one of her friends. Krys had such a kind heart. She had a true love and understanding of people and the hardships that are put before them. I was able to visit with krys last year at the nursing home in delta. It was so fun too see her. I am sure that there must have been a need for a great counselor in heaven. My sympathy to the family.

Krys loved the children! Her smile put others at ease. When the newspapers wanted to interview her after she gave a significant contribution in our fundraiser, she declined, telling me, "I don't have children of my own. These students are my children." She treated them all like that, too. The students of Ogden city schools, as well as those of us who had the pleasure of working with Krys, have lost a wonderful friend.

We have lost a wonderful beautiful person but Heaven has gained a wonderful beautiful angel. I could never thank you for all that you had done for my family and I. We will always love you and you will never be forgotten. I will miss our long talks and the way you would always make me smile no matter how upset I was. You never gave up on my boys and I thank you so much for that. May you forever Rest In Peace my wonderful friend. Love you always

I will never forget Krys' smile and laugh. She was a friend to everyone at Delta High.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ms. Knight was the kind of person who could spend a few moments talking to you, but leave an impact that would last a lifetime. Although Ms. Knight never called any attention to herself, we know she was deeply involved in the fundraiser for our daughter's heart transplant. We are forever grateful to her for her help with fundraiser, but more importantly, for her genuine love and concern for Abby.
Ms. Knight, we love you and the sweet way you

I was very sad to learn of Krys' passing. I will always hold fond and happy memories in my heart for Krys. I have learned and been blessed having known her for the past 13 years. I have found myself laughing as I have thought about the funny and goofy as well as downright crazy memories I have of Krys. She has been a true friend through the good and bad. She will be greatly missed by the teachers but especially by the students and families she loved and served.
