Crystal J. Bath, 92, of Mayville, formerly of West Bend, entered eternal life on Thursday, March 24, 2016, at Crossroads Care Center in Mayville with her family by her side.

Crystal was an amazing cook and baker who loved to be in the kitchen cooking for her family. She also enjoyed sewing, word searches, puzzles, family jigsaw puzzles, playing cards and watching nature. She will fondly be remembered at Crossroads Care Center for always feeling a little “woozy” no matter what.
