BILLYE TAEGEL KRYSTOW MEMORIAL GARDEN


The St. Matthew’s Billye Taegel Krystow Memorial Garden occupies the northeast corner of the church campus. Garden construction consisted of three phases. Phase One and Two construction is complete. Phase Three is currently represented by a wooden fence surrounding the garden that will eventually be replaced by a stone wall with Saltillo tile trim.

Niches and a common ground are available for placing of ashes. The niches are faced with gray granite plaques. These spaces are available to church members and their families for a contribution of $1,000. Each space is limited to one person. Plaques are also available to memorialize an individual church member, living or deceased, who has made a contribution of $1,000 or more to complete the Garden.

The Memorial Garden also contains several serene and peaceful areas for prayer and meditation. The Kinney Memorial Chapel is an outdoor chapel with a wooden cross and wooden seating. Additionaly there is a grass area for gatherings and wide walkways and seating for quiet meditation.

The church office will be glad to furnish information about contributions to the Garden or arrangements for spaces.
