STRAFFORD, N.H. (AP) - Funeral services are set for a teen killed in a two-vehicle crash in Strafford last week.

Foster’s Daily Democrat reports (https://bit.ly/2j98X7B ) a service for 16-year-old Crystal Eldridge is scheduled to begin at 1 p.m. on Friday at the R.M. Edgerly & Son Funeral Home in Rochester. A celebration of life will then be held in the funeral home chapel.

Eldridge, of Sanbornville, was a junior at Spaulding High School. She was also a member of the school’s ROTC drill team and softball team.



Her mother, Dawn Hersom, says Eldridge wanted to join the Air Force Reserve.

The teen was enrolled in an auto-mechanic class at the school and had worked at her uncle’s shop since she was 13. She also wanted to go to college to become an auto mechanic.
