Crystel was born in the Town of Rose, Waushara County, on June 13, 1919. Crystel grew up on a farm with her sister Byrdine and her parents Andrew and Edith (Davies) Nelson. She married the late Milton "Bud" Straw on May 17, 1941 in Wild Rose, Wisconsin. This marriage produced their only daughter Janet Dianne.
Crystel was a hard working lady who raised Janet during the first four years as her husband Bud was away fighting World War II. Crystel will be remembered for many things and a few that will be remembered especially by her family- apple pies (That were never good enough). She will also be remembered for her handiwork and her ability to win at cards. She bought her first new snowmobile at age 53. As some ladies of her era were slowing down, she was snowmobiling with her grandson and son-in-law. Crystel will surely be missed but as she said, "That's the way it is."
Crystel is survived by her daughter Janet King, grandson Brian (Sue) King, great grandchildren Jordan, Michala and Chelsea King all of Wisconsin Rapids.
She is preceded in death by her husband, parents, sister and son-in-law Richard King.
