Crystal was born in Worcester and graduated from the former Commerce High School in 1958.  After graduation she worked for Wyman Gordon’s before beginning her family with Bob.  When her children entered school she began to work for Paul Revere Insurance Company, where she remained for 23 years.  Crystal was an avid reader and loved “relaxing” in casinos.  She also enjoyed the outdoors, her cats and her flower gardens.  Most of all she loved spending time with her family, especially her five grandchildren.
