Kristi Beth Lescalleet, 61, of Boonsboro, MD, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, August 7, 2017 surrounded by her family.
She was born in Hagerstown, MD on March 8, 1956 to parents, James O. Frey and Melodie L. Frey. She was a graduate of Williamsport High School, class of 1974, and from the LPN program of Washington County Vocational Tech Center. Kristi started her nursing career at Colton Manor Nursing Home, and then worked as an LPN at Washington County Hospital for 33 years before beginning her "new normal" life fighting against an aggressive form of lung cancer, Mesothelioma. After a poor prognosis, she courageously battled against her illness for 8 years.

She was a loving mother to Teri Lescalleet (Jeremy) and Cory Lescalleet (Tracey). She is also survived by her mother, Melodie L. Frey, and brothers, James K. Frey (Mary) and Scott E. Frey. She was a cherished grandmother to Laura Mowen, Emma Vanderlyn, Mason Weaver, and Colson Lescalleet. She will be missed by many nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as her beloved dog, Harley.
