July 11, 1996 – November 2, 2018.
Born In Omaha Ne. Kristen graduated from Gretna High School in 2014. She was a Regents Scholar and member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority while attending the University of Nebraska – Lincoln.
Kristen is survived by her parents, Dr. Brett and Tami Kuhn, sisters Kelsi and Karlie of Gretna, grandparents Bob and Gwynne Kuhn of Sun City West, Az., Cindy Bunger of Minden, Ne, aunts and uncles Jim and Maura Kuhn and Kyle Kuhn of South Lake, Texas , Jeff and Sue Bunger of Holdrege, and Colby and Jennifer Hood of Hickman. Kristen was engaged to the love of her life, Connor Shedeed from Gretna, Ne. Kristen and Connor are members of Ellis Baptist Church where they accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour together on January 24, 2016. Their faith and trust in God is what gave them a sense of peace throughout this 3 year battle with Ewing’s Sarcoma. Connor’s family graciously loved her as their own.
Kristen enjoyed being surrounded by friends and family. Going to movies, catching up on her DVR’d shows, attending country music concerts, traveling the world, hunting with her father, and spoiling her puppy Jamie. She loved animals and hoped to one day become a veterinarian.
Kristen was preceded in death by her grandfather Ron Bunger of Minden.

Kristen and I were in Budapest together in summer 2017. She was one of the kindest people that I have met. She is missed by our whole Budapest group and we are sending prayers your way.
I was so sorry to see your family’s loss online, please accept my sincere condolences. As I have lost close family and friends it has truly helped me to remember the promises made in the Bible that soon God “will swallow up death forever” (Isaiah 25:8) and He “will wipe out every tear from our eyes, death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore.” (Rev 21:3,4) I hope you find these as comforting as I have.
I was so sad to read of Kristen’s passing. Theta sisters all over the country are sending prayers to your family.
With deepest sympathy as you remember Kristen. Sending healing prayers and comforting hugs.

I don’t know your family but I am so sorry to hear about your daughter’s passing. She sounds like a wonderful gal and had everything going for her but God had a different plan for her. God had the same plan for my stepson. He passed away a little over a year ago from Ewing’s Sarcoma. He was 24 years old and fought hard for 3 1/2 years. My heart goes out to all of you! She was a lovely girl!
