Obituary of Christal Lentz

Christal was born on July 12, 1990 to Carrie & Marvin Lentz in Dawson Creek, B.C. She was suddenly called Home to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on January 23, 2017 when in a fatal motor vehicle accident near Lake Country, B.C. Christal will be lovingly remembered by her parents, her brother Daniel Lentz, sister Chloe Lentz-Scott & husband Ryan Scott, nephews Evan and Brandtlee Scott, and her dear grandfathers Sig Lentz of Camrose and Perc Ridge of Adelaide, Australia. She was predeceased by her grandmothers, Ruth Ridge and Marg Lentz. Christal's very name identified her commitment to Jesus Christ—"Christ is all in all" as in Colossians 3:11. To Christal, Jesus Christ is the 'Pearl of Great Price' and she wore this like a cross necklace and a wedding ring. Family knew her fondly as "Angel Girl". Should her life have been a drama production, it could have been named "Brushed by an Angel". Christal's artistic touches put her love of God's nature skillfully onto the canvass of people's hearts, in artistic design woodworking, in writing, and in music. Her God-given gifts also overflowed into music—expressed in performance and composition. It was impossible to quiet the song in her heart. Singing was a way of life for Christal. She was not just a lover of all nature and God's creations, but she was really a part of nature, at home with the animals, birds and fish. The last two and a half years Christal worked as the Children's Program Coordinator for the Salvation Army in Kamloops. A beautiful memorial service was held there in her honor on February 5, 2017. Christal Ruth Lentz was laid to rest in Coldstream, B.C. on February 10, 2017. The family are inviting everyone whose lives have been "Brushed" by Christal in some way to a luncheon (1:30 p.m.) at the Messiah Lutheran Church Fellowship Hall that was held on February 19, 2017. It will be a time to feature and appreciate her paintings of spectacular mountain scenery on their walls. The luncheon was followed by a formal service of meditation, music, and memories at 3:00 p.m. in the sanctuary. Memorial contributions are gratefully accepted in memory of Christal, to a project that her father Marvin Lentz is cooridinating to continue Christal's Living Legacy. This project will entail a cottage overlooking a property that was to be Christal's , in Lumby B.C.
