Support Steady For Family Of Warren Co. Teen Killed In Car Crash

HARDWICK, NJ — A GoFundMe drive has continued to climb past $31,000 as of Thursday, to assist the family of a Warren County teenager who lost her life in a car accident on Sunday.

The funeral for Krystina Lyn Corriveau, 18, was held Thursday. Her obituary described Corriveau as “a loving and compassionate person, who loved to be surrounded by her pets, family, and friends.”

“She had the most beautiful smile that could light up your soul and a laugh that can still be heard by those who loved her,” were some other sentiments written in the tribute about Corriveau.

The Express-Times reported that at approximately 8 a.m. on May 16, Corriveau’s car collided with a tree on Birch Ridge Rd. Corriveau was rushed to Newton Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead.

Her stunned classmates joined her family and others within the grieving community, many walking from school to the Evangelical Free Church of Blairstown for Corriveau’s viewing on Wednesday, with floral displays created by North Warren Regional’s agriculture students, The Express-Times also wrote.

According to her obituary, Corriveau was born in Newton, raised in Hardwick and was only days from graduating North Warren Regional High School. She worked at Dunkin’ in Hope and was set to become a student at Bergen County Community College in the fall, in the Dental Hygienist program.

The GoFundMe drive established the day after she died, will help Corriveau’s family to begin picking up the financial pieces of the tragedy, with mounting hospital and funeral expenses.

“No one can imagine the indescribable pain that her family is enduring during this tragic time, the fund drive organizer Kamryn Polowy wrote. “They shouldn’t have to deal with the cost of a funeral and hospital bills on top of it.”

“Please help us raise money to support the Corriveau Family so they can grieve in peace,” Polowy concluded.
