Crystal is survived by her devoted husband, Melvin Cox; her beloved children, Jose Soto, Angela Iglesias, and David Cox; favorite son in-law, Benny Iglesias. She leaves behind a legacy of love through her grandchildren—Rebecca Soto, Venessa Garcia, Issac Soto, Angel Soto, Anthony Flores, Krystallynn Ortega, Arthur Rocha Jr., and Terricia Iglesias—and her twelve great-grandchildren, along with one brother, two sisters and countless friends and family. 

 

She was preceded in death by her cherished daughter, Ann Marie Soto; her mother, Erma Macias; her father, Arthur B. Perez; and four brothers and two sisters.

 

Crystal was a well-known and beloved member of the Oroville, CA community. She and her husband owned The Video Store, where many came not only for entertainment but to enjoy her warmth and friendship. She was also a familiar face at Feather Falls Casino, which she affectionately called her “happy place.” Crystal’s joyful spirit and infectious laughter will be remembered fondly by all who knew her.

 

In this time of mourning, Crystal’s family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude for the love, encouragement, and kindness that friends and family have shown.

 

Crystal’s legacy will live on in the hearts of those she touched. She will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by all.

 

“No more doctor, Momma, no more doctor.”
