Krista Tarasse Quirk, 38, passed away unexpectedly on Jan. 14, 2022, at Providence Medical Center in Everett, Wash. She was born on Nov. 9, 1983, to parents Timothy Quirk and Melody Ferguson in Seward, Alaska.
As a child, Krista was always happy and full of energy. She had the biggest smile and loved spending time with her siblings and numerous cousins. She attended school in Sand Point, Cold Bay, King Cove and Unalaska, Alaska.
Later in life, Krista lived in Sand Point and eventually moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where she gave birth to her sons: Arlin Jr. and Randy Jr. Most recently, she lived in Washington state, where she gave birth to her daughter Katelyn. Krista adored her children. They were her greatest joy in life, and she loved to share pictures and stories of them with her family and friends.
Krista, like her grandmothers, loved to cook. She could often be found in the kitchen creating delicious meals for all her family to enjoy. She loved all types of music and would always dance and sing to her favorite songs. She was a child at heart, who loved to laugh and would always joke around with her children, nieces and nephews. Krista was a loving, caring and compassionate person, and a true friend to her friends. She will be dearly missed.
When you think of Krista, her family would like you to celebrate the good memories you have of her. Remember that life is fragile and short and should be lived to the fullest.
Krista was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother, Kristin Ferguson; paternal grandparents, John and Angela Quirk; and cousins, Henry Nielsen Ill, Vernon Wilson Jr. and Tricia "Tootie" Wilson. She is survived by her beautiful children, Arlin Jr., Randy Jr. and Katelyn; grandson, Dakota; mother, Melody Ferguson; father, Timothy (Sherry) Quirk; siblings, Jenasey (Louie) Carlo, Rachelle (Josh) Sanderson and Timmy Quirk; nieces, Delaney, Kaylee, Lucia and Addison; nephews, Kai and Rylin; numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
