In Memory: Kristi Starr Blackwell, 28, Always Willing To Give A Helping Hand

Editor’s note: the following obituary was submitted by Lakeside Funeral Home

---

Kristi Starr Blackwell, God’s given angel, resident of Woodstock, Jasper and Austell, went into the arms of Christ & His light, Aug. 9, after succumbing to the horrible effects of the deadly disease of diabetes.

She is survived by her daddy, Donald Blackwell; her mumsy, Edee Disharoon; stepdad, Bradley Burr; her auntie Karen Dover McEntee; uncles Greg Disharoon and Ronald Blackwell; her be-bows, Colt and Kirk King; her cousin/brother Matt Hoover; sistahs, Tahlitha Waldroop and Julianna Houk; nephews, Timothy and Liam; her grandparents Garland and Lil Disharoon; her cousins, John and Brittney Blackwell and a zillion aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Kristi was born a starr right out of the gate. She graduated high school in 2005 and tech school as a medical assistant and went into the caregiver’s field. She cared for so many, gave beyond capacity, always a helping hand.

She smiled a lot and laughed a lot – a happy little bird, always singing, stood up for many, giving comfort, losing never an option. She always smelled good and looked good, and always a pleasure to be around. She was a beautiful person, unique and funny. A bright light has been put out on this earth, but shines bright now and forever in Heaven. She was beloved by all her family and friends and will be missed terribly by all.
