She was a loving a wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was truly one of a kind, and brought sparkle to everything in her life.

She was born in Scranton, Pa., the daughter of Catherine and Rudolph Koelsch. Upon graduating from high school, she moved to Manhattan to pursue her aspirations of becoming a model.

Wallach always was driven by an entrepreneurial spirit and was loved and adored by all who met her. Crystal had very fond memories of her time publishing Carousel magazine and working with the Westport Playhouse. She had a great sense of style — she was the essence of glamour, elegance and fashion. She always carried herself as a lady, exemplifying grace, bravery and dignity.
