Crystal Denise Ginyard, 41, of Jenkinsville, SC went to sleep in the Lord Friday, January 13, 2023 with her husband by her side.

Born on June 25, 1981 in Charleston, SC, she was a daughter of Sylvia Hege and the late Peter N. Hege. She was married to Azonia Jerron Ginyard, Sr.

Though her time here was much too brief, her impact in this world was great. Crystal was an active vessel for God, living out his Word in all that she did, finding great joy in helping others. She had a beautiful smile and was quick to share it with others, hoping to make them feel a little better.

Her legacy will be carried on through others, living as Crystal taught us to do – Serve God. Love Others. Smile Often.
