Kristin S. Keovongsa, 33. of Largo, FL passed away on Friday, July 11, 2014, at the Largo Medical Center. She was born in Lexington, KY and moved here many years ago with her family.
Kristin was loved deeply by her family. She was described as a free spirit, hopeful, loving, funny, a fighter, thoughtful, loyal, smart, strong and courageous and yet sensitive. She loved nature, butterflies, sunflowers, poetry, love songs, art and anything that expressed life. Kristin was also very creative when it came to things like decorations, scrapbooks, cards and she had a beautiful singing voice.
She always wanted to be a chef and would watch cooking shows for tips. Her other favorite TV shows were Voice, American Idol and America’s Got Talent. In her life, family and friends always came first, especially her nieces and nephews. This witty, caring, loving, devoted, humble, sincere and giving daughter, sister and aunt will be greatly missed by her family.

Certainly our prayers are offered on behalf of the entire Keovongsa family. Kristin will always be remembered for her vitality, her laughter, and her love of life and family. Her sudden death has brought sorrow, to be sure, but also a sense of relief and gratitude that she no longer struggles with issues of health and loss that was part of her journey, especially since the death of her dad, Pa Tu some years back. We love the Keovongsas.

Here is the obituary notice for Kristin, Vong’s sister.
Sincerely . our thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this difficult time. May God’s loving presence surround you and give you Peace.
I was very privilegeWatsonknow and interact with Kristin (KK) in high school. She was a very high spirited and upbeat person and a sweetheart. I had the chance to reconnect with her after graduation through Facebook and she was still the same upbeat person and a sweetheart. The world lost a great person. I’m definitely going to miss her.

My thoughts and prayers with The Keovongsa Family. May God give you peace and comfort during this difficult time. I’m so sorry for your loss.
KK is loved and cherished by many, always has been and always will be! We grew up in the same neighborhood and graduated in the same class, OHS ’99. Always a goofball and happy! Never had a bad moment when she was around and it was impossible to be unhappy when she was around. We reconnected through Facebook and I’m SO GLAD we did. Her passing came as a huge surprise and my heart broke when I heard, as I had constantly prayed for her and with her. Heaven gained a true gem ad the world lost a beautiful woman. Much love always and forever! Your legacy will go on as you left us way too soon! My deepest condolences and prayers are with her family! ’Till we meet again, it’s never goodbye!
Kristin had the most amazing smile that I will never forget. May her family and friends find comfort in knowing she is smiling with our Lord in Heaven.
Praying for all of you. May you feel God’s presence during this difficult time.
You will be missed…..
