Crystal Howard, 67, of Wichita, Kansas passed away on July 10, 2025, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Born on January 24, 1958, in Wichita, Kansas, she was the beloved daughter of A.G. Radcliff Jr. and Betty Johnson Radcliff.

Crystal was the youngest and only daughter in her family, growing up alongside her two older brothers in Wichita. She shared a special bond with her siblings and was known for her playful spirit—often teasing her brothers with affection and humor that remained a hallmark of her personality throughout her life.

Crystal built a strong work ethic over the years, beginning with her time at Seagate Technologies and culminating in a dedicated 20-year career as an overnight cashier at Walmart before retiring. Her commitment to her work and the people around her reflected the kindness and loyalty that defined her character.

She was a woman of warmth and wit—kind, sassy, and loving to all who knew her. Crystal had a deep love for her family and found immense joy in spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her home was often filled with laughter, stories, and the comforting presence of someone who would do anything for those she cared about.

One of Crystal’s greatest pleasures was relaxing with a crossword puzzle book in hand—a pastime she cherished deeply. Even as her eyesight waned, she continued to enjoy them whenever she could. Watching Judge Judy was another favorite way she liked to unwind, always appreciating a good dose of courtroom drama. She was also an avid watcher of the Oklahoma sooners football team. She would never miss a game. She loved her sooners.

Crystal is lovingly remembered by her three daughters: Trevina King (Mikel) of Paola, Kansas; Dina Brannan of Grand Prairie, Texas; and Alicia Rucker of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She also leaves behind two devoted brothers: Roger Radcliff (Terri) and Warren Radcliff (Danielle), both of Wichita, Kansas. Seven grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, three nephews and numerous cousins and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents, A.G. Radcliff Jr. and Betty Radcliff.

Crystal’s memory will live on through the many lives she touched with her generosity, humor, and unwavering love for family.
