On November 21, 2012, Shelbe married the love of her life, Bert Axline, and gained a beloved son, Logan, the very same day.

    Family was her first love and priority. Shelbe loved everybody and had the most kind, loving, joyful heart. She loved animals, the outdoors, hunting, fishing and her dog, Ladybird. Shelbe did all she could to make peace and share love with others. Her final gift to the world was the birth of her son, Wyatt. Bert and Shelbe were overjoyed at his birth; she will watch over her whole family as an angel from above.

    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-story”]Krystal Lakeshia (Cunningham) Anderson, 40, of Leawood, passed away unexpectedly on March 20, 2024, shortly after the birth of her daughter, Charlotte Willow Anderson, who was born at rest.

    Krystal was born on April 27, 1983 to Carlyle and Bertha (Banks) Cunningham at Killeen, TX. She graduated from Eastwood High in El Paso, TX, where she was active with the African Dance group. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Richmond, where she was a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, participated in the African Dance group, and was a cheerleader for the football team.

    Krystal worked as a Software Engineer at Oracle Health (formerly Cerner), making significant contributions to improving healthcare, including being awarded a patent for developing software that assesses the risk of post-partum hemorrhage. Beyond her software achievements, she dedicated more than a decade to the Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleaders, sharing her spirit and energy. Krystal also shared her passion for wellness as a yoga instructor with CorePower Yoga, where she inspired many with her dedication to health and balance.

    On July 31, 2021, she married Clayton William Anderson, and they made their home in Leawood, Kansas.

    Krystal radiated joy and laughter to everyone she encountered. She was passionate about philanthropy, working with Big Brothers and Big Sisters of KC, Gabriella’s Little Library, and the First Hand Foundation. She fiercely advocated for Black women in STEM and women’s health. In her spare time, she enjoyed dancing, laughing with her sisters, practicing and teaching yoga, dinners with exotic and spicy food, and spending couch time with her husband and their two dogs, Sprocket and Louie.

    Krystal is survived by her loving husband, Clayton, parents Bertha and Burnette (BJ) Johnson, brother Corey Johnson, grandmother Carrie Banks, cousin Kytah Banks, cousin Jennifer Banks, and several other extended relatives and in-laws.

    She was preceded in death by her infant son, James Charles, and infant daughter, Charlotte Willow.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
