After completing her studies at Lander College, Kristy earned a degree in Home Economics and went on to earn her teaching certification. She served as a teacher’s aide for the Spartanburg I School District at two separate schools within the district. Because Kristy enjoyed interacting with people, she first worked at a couple of daycare facilities and then went on to work at Dobson’s Hardware and Gifts in Greer.
Kristy called the apartment complex in Seneca known as Belvedere Commons her home. She was a kind and compassionate person who never met a stranger in her life. She has a kind heart and was constantly interested in finding out more about other people. Kristy found great satisfaction in showing concern for the people in her life and concentrating on the ways in which she could be a blessing to others. She had been attending Clemson United Methodist Church for a significant amount of time.
Cooking, crafts, gardening, and helping her father out on the family farm were all activities that Kristy enjoyed doing.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her brother, Kurt Summers Harwell, and her nephew, David Allen Tyler. Both of these individuals were her blood relatives.
