Crystal Scribner
December 10, 1963 - August 18, 2021
Crystal was born to Diane Freed on December 10th, 1963 in Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
She spent her early childhood in Dubuc, Saskatchewan with her mother, grandmother, Grandpa Donovan and other members of the Freed family. Crystal’s aunts played a huge role in her life from day one.
Crystal, her brother Vince and mother moved to British Columbia when Crystal was five years old. She attended elementary school in Surrey and Burnaby. She attended high school in Vancouver through Grade 10. While in Vancouver she was active in gymnastics, Brownies, dance and cheerleading.
In the summer of 1979, Crystal headed to Foam Lake, Saskatchewan for a summer holiday at her Aunt Donalda’s. During that visit she made the decision to make that her home. She became the new member of the family. She was quick to make friends, despite the challenge of coming from the big city to life in a small town. She formed friendships there that lasted a lifetime. She completed her Grades 11 and 12 and graduated at Foam Lake High School. She also taught gymnastics while there. It was while she lived there that she would meet her future husband, Micheal Psovsky.
Soon after graduating, Crystal moved to Regina to work and lived with her long time friend, Cindy Dmyterko.
Mike and Crystal were married in Kuroki, Saskatchewan in 1988. Shortly after they married they moved to Kindersley. Crystal worked as a service advisor at the GM dealership from 1988 - 2005.
The couple welcomed their first son, Shayne into the world, October 2nd, 1990. Their second son, Mathew, was born February 11th, 1992.
Crystal remarried May 6th, 2005 to Floyd Scribner.
She enjoyed keeping her yard in meticulous shape, golfing, travelling and a love of drag racing. Crystal quickly gained respect for her racing abilities and any opponent that took her lightly was likely to find out the hard way. She was also dedicated to the well being of her home race track “Saskatchewan International Raceway” and volunteered on several projects.
Her personality, sense of humour and energy gained her many friends wherever she was.
In December, 2016, Crystal was diagnosed with terminal gastric cancer and given eight to ten months to live. Her determination, stubbornness and strong will gave us much more time than that and for that we were blessed.
Crystal was predeceased by her brother, Vince (2016) and cousins Launa Simpson (2018) and Tim Freed (2021).
She is survived by her mother Diane Freed, her husband Floyd Scribner, sons Shayne and Mathew Psovsky, stepson Lindsey (Shelby) Scribner, granddaughter Leah, brothers Scott (Robin) and Shayne (Angie) Peacock, father of her sons - Micheal Psovsky and many aunts, uncles, nephews and nieces.
A celebration of her life was held August 28th at 1:00 p.m. at the Norman Ritchie Centre, Kindersley.
