Born on March 31st, 1942 to Emojean Casto, and Norman Kirby, she was born in Heber Utah in her childhood home and lived in this state all of her life. Though Norman chose to not be in her life Emojean’s second husband Lamar Casto would fill that role as her dad.When Crystal married Wayne Hutchings on June 5th 1959, they were the type of people that wanted children but also understood that some children didn’t have parents of their own. They knew that people from all walks of life needed love, it would come to a point where they would adopt the siblings Danean Hutchings, and Kevin Hutchings. Even after Crystal and Wayne separated they would both continue to be good friends and would continue to raise both of their children to be fine adults and both would give them loving grandchildren as well.
