Christal Rae Bidwell

Christal Rae Bidwell, age 41 of Louisville, Kentucky, set out for her final vacation on Friday, March 31, 2018. She graduated Clarksville High School and Jefferson County Technical College, with an Associate Degree in Graphic Design. She had a 15 year career with TMP. Christal loved people, camping, nature, the Reds, dining out and traveling the world. She lived life to the fullest and brightened every room she entered. Christal was very brave and fought Huntington's Disease for years; at the same time she was the most giving person. She was preceded in death by her father, Charles Raymond Bidwell.

Christal is survived by her loving mother, Delena Bidwell; pseudo-sister, Karissa Dingus; the love of her life who was with her until the end, Rick Hinze; her unforgettable dog, Betty; and a host of family and friends.

A gathering in Christal's honor will be 2-5pm on Sunday, April 15, 2018 at Ambassador East, 1612 Gardiner Lane, Louisville, KY.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Huntington Disease Society, 982 Eastern Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky 40217 (www.hdsa.org).
