Crystal graduated from Watauga Academy and attended East Tennessee State College. She taught for several years in a one-room school that is now under the Watauga Lake. She then moved to the Baltimore, MD area where she was well-known for her ability to work with people as an Avon sales representative for nearly 40 years and as an avid flower gardener.
