Roll Call Tribute

Crystal Lucia Santana 

February 12, 1986 - October 16, 2024 

Crystal Lucia Santana, born on February 12, 1986, left this world on October 16, 2024, leaving behind a legacy of love, faith, and generosity that will never be forgotten. She was a bright, vibrant soul whose warmth touched everyone lucky enough to know her.

Raised in a loving and nurturing family, Crystal grew up surrounded by faith. She attended Catholic schools from pre-school through high school, and later graduated from Texas A&M University in 2008 with a degree in Marketing. Her education only deepened her natural gift for connecting with people, making her a shining presence in both her personal life and her career.

Crystal's love for her family and friends knew no bounds. She had a special way of making everyone around her feel loved and cherished, always giving without expecting anything in return. Her greatest pride, though, was her deep relationship with Jesus. She carried prayer cards with her and loved collecting saint medals, each one a reflection of her strong faith and unwavering devotion.

She also had a passion for cooking and loved bringing people together for dinner parties, where laughter and love always filled the room. Her adventurous side shone through in her travels, especially during a study abroad trip to Spain that left her with a deep appreciation for different cultures.

Crystal leaves behind a family who loved her dearly: her devoted parents, Manuel and Gema Santana; her brothers, Jaime and Manny; and her sisters, Gema and Teresa. While their hearts are heavy with grief, the memories of her loving spirit will forever fill their lives with light.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Crystal's life with a Prayer Service on October 21, 2024, at St. Mary's Catholic Center in College Station, TX, at 6:00 PM, followed by a Mass on October 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM. Crystal will be laid to rest at Memorial Cemetery of College Station at 11:15 AM, with a gathering at St. Marys afterward to honor her memory together.
