Chris' passion was arts and crafts, drawing inspiration from her mother who taught Sunday school. Her tastes varied from creating greeting cards and signs, making jewelry, woodwork and wreaths. On the door her craft room hung a sign "My Happy Place," she was there as often as she could unless she "needed" to go to Hobby Lobby or Dollar Tree for even more supplies. She was always inviting friends and family over to share dinner and have conversation or play games. You couldn't just say hello to her, she wanted a hug from everyone. She could strike up a conversation with anyone t the grocery store or elsewhere, making them smile before she left. When she was out, her favorite thing to do when she spotted a member of the police or fire department, ws to go over and shake their hand and thank them for their service. "Nobody tells these people how much they are appreciated," she would say. Chris is survived by her husband and children, two sisters, a niece and nephew, cousins and many friends and neighbors. She will be forever in our hearts.
