Below is an obituary from Connor-Healy Funeral Home & Cremation Center:

METHUEN, MA — Crystal A. Appareti was born at New England Memorial Hospital in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She was the daughter of Christine and Peter LeBlanc and sister to Jeff LeBlanc. Crystal grew up in Tewksbury, Massachusetts where she went to grade school. She went to Shawsheen Technical High School in Billerica, Massachusetts where she focused on Commercial Arts and Illustration. Her expertise in the arts was evident in the drawings she made throughout her life as well as the photographs she took. You could tell she had an eye for composition, design, and colors which came out with her creative expressions. Her creativity and eye for a well-designed photograph were evident in her photography of their daughter Shay. She loved taking photos of Shay as she grew from an adorable baby to the first days in kindergarten.

After high school she completed courses to become a Certified Medical Assistant. With this background she started her career as a Medical Billing Specialist at Saints Memorial Center in Lowell, Massachusetts. She then worked for several years at Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Massachusetts in their Medical Claims Department. Then she took a role as Claims Supervisor at Derry Medical Center in Derry, New Hampshire. Her last role was as Claims Coordinator for HUB International in Wilmington, Massachusetts where she was learning and excelling in her job, contributing to the organization’s success.

While at Lahey Clinic in early 2000’s she met her future husband Gregor Appareti and dated for a number of years enjoying their time getting to know each other and growing their love for each other. Crystal and Gregor were married September 1, 2016, at The Searles Castle in Windham, New Hampshire. They moved from Tewksbury to their current home in Methuen, Massachusetts.

In 2020 their bundle of joy and energy, Shay Appareti, was born. Crystal, Gregor and Shay have had many wonderful memories over the past 5 years. Together they were building a life together enjoying going to the park, long walks, playing video games and cooking some wonderful meals.

Crystal passed away on March 26, 2026, in Manchester, New Hampshire. She leaves behind her parents and brother, husband and daughter.
