Obituary of Kristina Sande

Kristina “Krise” Sande was born May 14, 1968 in Ganges, British Columbia. She was the second daughter of Gary Sande and Lynn Boyd. Krise was 50 years old when she passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, September 13, 2018. She was far too young and it was too soon for those who loved her.

Krise graduated from Business Computer Training Institute in 1998. She was a continuous and lifelong learner, earning many accolades and certificates in her professional journey. She worked for DaVita for 20 years where she made many dear friends and ultimately found a second family. She was very proud to be working toward her degree in Software Development from Western Governors University.

Krise loved animals, especially her horses, Storm and Rhombus; dogs, Jake and Popi; as well as her cats and goats. She lived her whole life in Washington State, mostly Western Washington. In 2017, she bought a picturesque farm in Onalaska, Washington, where she planned to live happily ever after. Her farm was the culmination of a lifelong dream. She was well known for lively debates, a strong work ethic, and fierce loyalty.

Krise never married but loved many children in her life, especially her youngest niece, sweet Claire. 

Krise was preceded in death by her father, Gary Sande of Spokane, Washington, two aunts and three cousins. She leaves behind her mother, Lynn Boyd of Eudora, Kansas; three sisters, Cheryl Adler and Bonney Boyd both of Olathe, Kansas, and Lennie Boyd of Onalaska; nephews, Clinten and Ian; nieces, Cheyenne, Ilannah, Mirandah and Claire; her first great niece; an uncle; an aunt; and several cousins.
