Krista Joy Ott, age 30, of Moorhead, Minn., formerly of Grand Rapids, Minn. died unexpectedly of natural causes on May 4, 2011 in Moorhead.
Krista was born in Grand Rapids to Marv and Mary Ott and graduated from Grand Rapids High School in 1999. Along with her academics, she participated in choir, debate and soccer. After graduation, Krista attended Moorhead State University. During her college education, Krista acquired some physical limitations. In spite of this, her faith in God remained strong and when she had recovered sufficiently, she reentered college and received her degree in 2005. Since graduation, Krista has been employed by Community Living Services in Fargo, North Dakota. She enjoyed the challenge of helping people with disabilities. Krista loved life and was optimistic about her future as she continued in therapy to overcome her own physical limitations. Her middle name fit her perfectly as she brought "Joy" to all those she came in contact with. Her family and friends will miss her.
