Kristine Mae Lowell Obituary (1987 - 2016)

Kristine Mae Lowell, age 28, died Monday, March 7th, 2016 due to an accidental heroin overdose, breaking so many hearts. Kristi was born on March 19th, 1987 in Salt Lake City, UT. Born one minute after her twin sister Kari Elizabeth, she was feisty from day one. Kristi was always covered in dirt. As a small child she played. Hard. She spent hours in the backyard dominating her big brother Tommy in basketball. Sorry Tommy. She actually dominated in all sports including street hockey, softball, football, night games, ice skating, etc. In high school Kristi was on the varsity basketball team as a freshman. She loved to play and everyone loved her, except maybe her coaches. It's a long story. Kristi was also creative. She and Kari played Relief Society in a barn, almost lighting it on fire; she stole golf balls from the golf course and sold them back to golfers, and once spray painted her best friend Carter green. When she was older, she became proficient at reenacting Rescue 911 episodes, learned how to drive backwards through McDonalds drive thrus and once snuck into the pizza delivery guy's car to give him a little scare. She and her sister Holly didn't speak in their voicemails to each other but instead sang 80's song after the beep. Kristi fiercely loved her mom, making her scratch her back for hours, exchanging fashion tips and laughing at inappropriate jokes. She also missed her dad. They enjoyed Aussie Floyd concerts, and ran endless errands together, usually ending in quick trips to the Maverick for a hot dog. Kristi was loved by her siblings and her nieces and nephews adored her. She was not afraid to be silly and play. She lived to hear and repeat their hilarious stories. They will miss their aunt Kristi. Kristi was a fan of Snapback hats, Awkward Family Photos, concerts with friends, gyoza nights, Big Brother, Pink Floyd, golf, oversized sweat pants, and selfies. Kristi was not a fan of Katy Perry, yard work, dresses, Cold Water Creek, curling irons, BYU pedestrians, baby showers and clogging. She hated the color pink. Kristi was blessed with a family that loved her and a twin sister who was also her best friend. Kristi had plans to finish her bachelor's degree and continue mentoring youth, which was her passion. Although her plans were cut short, we know we will be with her again. She is survived by her mother Karen Cushenberry (Bill), sister Holly Wever (Tod and their kids Lennon, Larry, Ruby, Thomas), brother Tommy Lowell (Shantay and their son Cooper), sister Kari Heaps (Eric and their son Lewis), step-sister Jordan Moss (her daughter Brynlie), and step-brother Patrick, many aunts and uncles and cousins, and her grandpa Larry. Preceded in death by her father Ron, her grandma Jewel and grandparents Lowell. Funeral services will be held Monday, March 14, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. in the LDS Stake Center Chapel located at 1315 East 900 South, Provo. Family and friends may attend a visitation from 9 -10:45 a.m. prior to the services. Interment will be in the Provo City Cemetery. Bye Felicia.
