Kristen had just finished her Junior year at Cherokee High School and was looking forward to all the things her senior year had to offer.
Kristen was involved in many activities in her school and community. She was a member of First Baptist Church of Helena, where she was involved in her youth group and assisted with Vacation Bible School. It was during this time that she made the most important decision of her life to accept Christ as her Savior.

Kristen also was an active member of the Cherokee FFA Chapter. She loved showing her sheep, steers and pigs, and just hanging out with her friends at the stock shows. She also was a member of the livestock judging team. While in FFA, Kristen served as parliamentarian and secretary for her chapter.
Kristen was member of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, where she served as Worthy Adviser. In Rainbow, she was involved in various community service projects such as the Spook-House and the community Easter egg hunt.
Kristen had many honors bestowed upon her during her short 17 years. She was a beautiful, smart, talented girl who had a spunky personality. She touched the lives of so many people and will be deeply missed by all.
Kristen is survived by her parents, Troy and Stephanie; her brothers, Joshua and Michael; her maternal grandparents, Charles and Deborah Fesmire; her paternal grandparents, Art and Loretta Shepard; many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal great-grandparents.
