Mrs. Crystal Sade Vásquez-Tavarez

Born on May 25th, 1989, in Queens, New York, to Paula “Deborah” Hutchinson and Edwin Baptiste, Crystal Sade Vasquez-Tavarez was a light whose radiance touched everyone she encountered. Raised with love in Atlanta, Georgia, Crystal was the epitome of kindness and determination. A proud graduate of West Lithonia High School in 2007, Crystal pursued her passion for justice and advocacy in forensic behavioral science at Kennesaw State University. Her dedication to making a difference was evident in her role as a Victim Advocate, where she inspired and supported countless individuals. Crystal was a vibrant spirit, who loved fashion, JROTC, and foreign languages. She cherished the ocean, and traveling, finding solace on sandy beaches. Her love extended to the family and friends she leaves behind: her devoted mother, Paula Hutchinson Baptiste, her beloved siblings Javar Hutchinson, Joshua Baptiste, Teresa Baptiste, and Mindy Baptiste Stinson, as well as her cherished niece, Kayleigh Hutchinson. She will also be missed by a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends whose lives she enriched with her bright smile, laughter, and boundless compassion. Crystal departed this life on November 2, 2024, at the age of 35. Though our hearts ache with her passing, her memory remains a beacon of her strength. As we gather to honor Crystal’s incredible life, may we hold her memory close, allowing her light to guide us through our grief. Let us carry forward her legacy by embracing life with the same passion and kindness she exemplified.
