Crystal Ronnette Core was born in Washington, DC at the Columbia

hospital for women on November 16, 1980 to the parents of Veronica

Mcduffie and James Ray Core. On January 16, 2019 Crystal untimely

death shocked and hurt everybody who knew her. To be absent from the

body is to be present with the Lord.

She was raised in Baltimore and received her education through the

Baltimore City Public School Systems and Baltimore City Community

College.

She obtain various employment and certificates. For the past 4 years Future

Care Nursing Home has been her long term work family.

As a little girl she was a cry baby. My grandmother once said if you look

at her to long she'll start crying. As she was growing into a teenager she

was very shy, quiet but friendly. She loved to dance outside with her sister

and friends on the block. As an adult she loved to cook,dance,do hair and

be the life of the party,she turned into a social butterfly. She was known for

her big cheesy smile, saying or whatever after every word and her big

beautiful heart. She would open her home up to anybody who needed a

helping hand. She loved being a mother. She loved her two children very

much she was known to be called Chrissy by family and friends and

Christine by her sister. She was a loving daughter, a cool big sister,

wonderful mother and a remarkable friend.
