Krissa was the consummate professional, highly valued by her employers and employees and admired by women and men alike for her outstanding ethics and business acumen. She was a role model for many who crossed her path, and went out of her way to support and mentor other women, especially those pursuing careers in the fields of business and science.

As someone who lived life to the fullest, Krissa took full advantage of the great many things it had to offer – music, food, shopping, travel (throughout the U.S. and in Europe), movies, evenings on the town and time spent with those she cherished most. While her life ended far too soon, she enjoyed more personal and professional achievements in 41 years than most people could ever hope to squeeze out of a lifetime. She will be deeply missed by her family and friends, but she will never be forgotten.

Krissa Suzanne Dudley left this earth June 26, 2022. The Krissa S. Dudley Memorial Scholarship was established in 2022 to honor her life and legacy.
