Kristine is an amazing lady who loves the town she grew up in, her family, and the color purple. She has a passion for the history of Kaysville, Layton, Fruit Heights, and Farmington. (In the beginning Kaysville or Kay's Ward encompassed these 4 towns). Kristine is also involved with the Kaysville Fruit Heights Museum of History & Art. She serves on the executive board as well. We are lucky to have such a great lady.
