Kristin Nicole Martin, age 21, of Butler, passed away from complications of cystic fibrosis on Tuesday, February 2, at UPMC Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Born January 19, 1995, she was the cherished daughter of Gary S. and Louise Galan Martin.

Kristin was a 2013 graduate of Butler High School.

She was a member of Saint Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church in Herman, where she was an altar server and a volunteer for the parish's annual picnic and Sports Raffle.

Kristin was very strong and steadfast in her faith and she had a great devotion to the Blessed Mother. One of her greatest dreams was fulfilled when she traveled to Lourdes, France and visited the Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes. The trip was made possible by her Saint Mary's Church family and the community.

Kristin was a member of the Butler Memorial Hospital Auxiliary and she volunteered at the hospital's Cherry Tree Gift Shoppe. She also volunteered at the Kozy Rest Campground in Harrisville and with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and its Great Strides fundraising walk.

Kristin enjoyed camping, swimming, writing, and crafting. Kristin loved her family and making every day count.

Kristin is survived by her parents; numerous aunts, uncles and cousins; her "Aunt Pat and Uncle Jerry" Sample; and her dog, Lyliah.

The family would like to express sincere gratitude to all caregivers, especially Dr. David Orenstein and staff at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh and, most recently, the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic and staff at Shadyside Hospital.

Friends will be received in the Martin Funeral Home, Inc., 429 Center Avenue, Butler, on Friday from 2-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday at 11 a.m. at Saint Mary of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church in Herman, with the Reverend Ward Stakem, OFM Cap., pastor, officiating.

Burial will take place in St. Mary's Cemetery.

Friends are encouraged to wear Kristin's favorite color purple to the visitation and funeral.

The family requests that memorial donations be made in Kristin's name to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, 810 River Avenue, Suite 100, Pittsburgh, PA 15212 or to Saint Mary Church, 821 Herman Road, Butler, PA 16002.
