Kristy was born May 16, 1981, to Mansell and Becky Lusk in Lubbock, TX. She married the love of her life David Jones on February 29, 2012. Kristy loved her family more than anything.
Kristy was raised in Shallowater, where she graduated from high school in 1999. She went on to attend Texas Tech University, where she completed her Bachelors of Family and Consumer Sciences Degree. Prior to her diagnosis Kristy was near the completion of her Masters degree in curriculum and instruction while maintaining a 4.0 GPA.
Kristy began her teaching career in LISD, and for the last 14 years has been a proud Frenship Tiger. Kristy had a passion for her students and in return she was often known as the favorite among the students.
When Kristy was not teaching, she enjoyed traveling with her family. She loved the beach and lying by the pool. She was a Texas Tech super fan; she and David rarely missed a game no matter the sport. She loved to shop, Kristy’s shoe game was strong, and her purse collection grew every year at Christmas followed by the matching wallet on Valentines.
Kristy’s pride and joy in life was her daughter Lila. Kristy was a wonderful mother and she lit up every time she spoke about her.
Kristy’s memory will forever remain in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to have known her. She is survived by her husband David Jones; daughters Lila Devenport, Emily Jones, Kate Jones and future son in law De’Maria Heath, and Grant and Megan Lewellen. Her parents Mansell and Becky Lusk and her sister Karen Caballero and husband Nick Caballero and their children Nathan and Emma.
