Krissy won medals from competing in the Special Olympics as she played a game called “Hibachi.” She also enjoyed other hobbies included bowling, eating with friends and family, watching movies, listening to music, and playing cards for money. Krissy couldn't go anywhere around the town of Leesburg without knowing somebody, as she was very popular and had numerous friends. Always had an unconditional amount of love for her family and always had a soft spot for her nieces and nephews. She would spend lots of her free time on the phone, calling friends and family every day to check up and make sure everyone was doing well. Krissy always had a smile on her face no matter the time of day. She also had an unbelievable great memory, as she always remembers everyone’s birthday. Krissy was predeceased by her Mother Ruth Sims, her father Vanderzee Whitney, her brother Paul Sims and Laurence Whitney and sister’s Jaqueline Sims, Stephanie Thomas, Ambrose Whitney, and Geraldine Powell.
