Devlin Receives Posthumous Award

Crystal Devlin, a well-known Realtor in the Texas Hill Country prior to her death this past summer, was awarded the prestigious Top Seller’s Sapphire Award from the Lawton County Board of Realtors. A former employee of the deceased accepted the award on her behalf. Ms. Devlin was dedicated to helping families shop for the perfect house to fit their needs. Many county residents will remember Ms. Devlin fondly as they enjoy their homes over the coming years. Family members were unavailable for comment.
