Crystal Jean Sickels, 92

On December 3, 2025, Crystal Jean Sickels, left this earthly life surrounded by family. Crystal was born June 6, 1933 to Eugene Robinson and F. Louise (Beck) of Evart, Michigan.

In May 1949, Crystal married Carl W. Sickels of Evart. They shared a long and devoted marriage until Carl preceded her in death in September 1996. Together they raised three children: Carl “Butch” Sickles (Brenda), Gerald “Jerry” Sickels (Kate), and Vicki Yard (Ralph). Her son Jerry preceded her in death in 2021.

Crystal was also preceded in death by her siblings Lewis Robinson, Bobby Robinson, and Ida Papp.

She is survived by five grandchildren—Kelly, Carl, Rodney, Christina, and Jessica—along with 17 great-grandchildren and nine great-great-grandchildren, the living testament to a life rooted in love and resilience.

Crystal had a warm, generous spirit and was a friend to everyone she met. She enjoyed gardening, sewing, and crafting, and for many years she lovingly raised miniature poodles—often keeping one from each litter. Early in their marriage, she and Carl moved to the city in search of employment, but in 2007 Crystal returned home to Evart, where she spent her remaining years.

She will be remembered for her kindness, creativity, and the love she shared with her family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made in Crystal’s name to The Children’s Foundation of America.

Care has been entrusted to Corey Funeral Home, services will be on Saturday, December 6, 2025 at 1:00 PM with visitation two hours prior.Crystal will be laid to rest at Sylvan Cemetery immediately after the service. Family and friends are invited to the Sylvan Church for a memorial luncheon after the burial.
