“When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure.”
Celebration of Life: Kristina Kay Hackwith (nee Flomer)
Kristina “Kris” Kay Hackwith (nee Flomer) passed away unexpectedly Saturday, March 21, 2026, after suffering a sudden fatal arrythmia of her heart while visiting family in Coeur d’Alene. One moment she was there, and the next moment she was with Jesus. Her last days were 100% full of life and joy in loving her family and the people she encountered, investing her time and energy in what they needed.
Requiescat in pace: Kristina Kay Hackwith
I am deeply saddened to share that my mother, Kristina Kay Hackwith, passed away unexpectedly on March 21, 2026, following a sudden heart attack. While we know her faith in Jesus was strong, her passing is a profound loss to her family, friends, and all who knew her, and we ask for patience and understanding during this difficult time.
