The simplest pleasures in life brought great joy to Kristan. She loved quiet evenings with family and often lengthy debates about life events and family history. She had an uncanny ability to find joy in her daily activities simply by being surrounded by the people she loved. She always took pride in educating and expanding her knowledge driven by the encouragement of her late grandfather Daniel Carlson “Poppy”. Kristan loved spending time in the kitchen, and creating meals for her family, she was intimadating to cook for as her mastery was unmatchable in taste and presentation. She shared a special bond with each of her nieces and nephews and held such pride in being an auntie. Kristan made it her mission to always honor the memory of her late sister Allison Whalon, she highlighed Ally in all corners of her home and annual “Ally Christmas Tree”. She was more than happy to be the central figure in the lives of her children. Anyone who knew them knew that she was a star in their eyes, and that’s all that ever mattered to her.

Brother Justin Whalon of San Diego, CA and his wife Julie Whalon and children Holland, Quinton and Amelia.
