Kristi was born November 16, 1982, and grew up in Olathe, KS. Her love for dance, fashion and interior design started at a young age. She also enjoyed softball, cheerleading and drill team while growing up. After graduating from Olathe South High School, Kristi went on to get a Bachelor of Science degree in Apparel and Textile Marketing with a minor in Business Administration at Kansas State University. She was a creative entrepreneur who followed her dream of opening a fashion truck, which eventually became The Jeweled Gypsy. She was very passionate about the business, which led to several pop-up shops around Kansas City. She found joy in traveling, hiking, live music, happy hours, and spending time at the lake or on a beach. She loved being a bonus mom to Navah Fay and dog mom to Charlie. 

Kristi was a cherished daughter, granddaughter, sister, and friend. She was selfless, generous, fun-loving, and always up for an adventure. She had a vivacious personality and would light up every room she entered. Kristi will be deeply missed and forever remembered.
