Kristen Armer

Kristen Renee Armer, of Van Buren, Arkansas died Saturday, October 24, 2009 in Arkansas Children’s Hospital from pneumonia. Kristen came into my life through a telephone call I received from her grandmother, Donna Hibbs, shortly after she was diagnosed with transverse myelitis.  She got TM when she was just an infant. 

Kristen was 12 years old and a 7th grade student at Cedarville Middle School.  Kristen was an inspiration and a joy to her family.  Kristen also left an indelible impression on her classmates and in her community.  She was a member of First Assembly of God in Van Buren, a member of Partners in Christ, the 2009 Cedarville Junior High Football Homecoming Princess, awarded the Pirate Spirit Achievement Award, two-time Gold medalist for Arkansas Special Olympics 100 meter motorized wheelchair race and a former Cedarville Little League Football cheerleader.

Our memories of Kristen should serve as a blessing for her family and for all of us.
