Krista Nicole Scott - Cervantez

Krista Nicole Scott - Cervantez, 36, passed away on November 6, 2026. She was born on December 13, 1989 in Lubbock, Texas.

Krista built a life centered on hard work, love for her family, and the simple things that brought her joy. She was a district manager for Stripes convenience stores, later 7-Eleven, and took pride in her work. She was also working toward her business degree through Texas Tech, continuing to invest in her future with determination and purpose.

Outside of work and school, Krista enjoyed the things that made a house feel like home and a day feel well spent. She loved to cook, fish, care for her chickens, and relax with television shows, especially House Hunters. Above all, she loved spending time with her children and with her nieces and nephews, and those moments were among the accomplishments she treasured most.

Krista is survived by her husband, Gavino Cervantez, and by her mother, Michele Joyner. She also leaves behind her children, Derrick Scott, Marlie Scott, Kylee Scott, Brooklyn Scott, Addyson Scott, and Oakley Scott. She is also survived by her nephew, Blain Herington; and niece, Tatum Herington; both of whom she helped raise. Also cherishing her memory is Johnna Alvarado, her ex-wife/baby momma. 

She was preceded in death by her father, David Chavarria; her grandparents, John Joyner Sr. and Laura Joyner; and her uncle, John Joyner Jr.

Krista will be remembered for her devotion to her family, her strong work ethic, and the love she gave so freely to those around her. Her memory will remain in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
