Crystal “Tico” Blue, 59, of Granite Falls passed away on Sunday, March 5, 2023, at her home. Celebration of Life was held Friday, March 10, 2023, at 1 p.m. at Wing-Bain Funeral Home in Granite Falls. Following the service there was a gathering at Tolley’s. Visitation was held 12 - 1 p.m., one hour prior to the service. Crystal Kay Blue was born on December 28, 1963, in Marshall, the daughter of Elmer “Chris” and Mayvis (Christensen) Etrheim. She grew up around Marshall, Hanley Falls, and Granite Falls and attended Granite Falls High School. In her younger years her brother Billy could not pronounce her name and started calling her Tico, which stuck as a life long nickname. In the mid 80’s Tico obtained her GED and enrolled at Granite Falls Vo-Tech, earning her degree in machine tool in 1990. She started working part time at Chandler Industries during school and has continued to work there for 30+ years. Tico had a way with words and made new friends everywhere, always one to help whenever people asked. She enjoyed cooking and made huge holiday meals so she could pack up meals and bring to people who didn’t have family near - Thanksgiving was always her favorite. Tico enjoyed gambling and participating in pool league. She enjoyed long weekend trips to pool tournaments, casinos, and occasionally Vegas. On one special trip in the fall of 2014 her friends, Jamie, Lori, Greg, Gary Dean, went to Vegas and then Jamie and Gary Dean surprised her by renting a car and driving her out to California to see the ocean as they knew how much she had wanted to see an ocean all her life. Tico is survived by her children, Tawnya (Scott Anspach) Anderson of Montevideo, Tremayne Blue (Jen Holien) of Clarkfield; brothers, Earl (Donna) Craig of Clarkfield, Ricky (Jane) Craig) of the Twin Cities; as well as other relatives and friends; and her cat Baby Boy. Tico is preceded in death by her parents, Elmer and Mayvis; brother, Billy Etrheim; niece, Melinda Craig. Arrangements a
