She loved football and especially the Kansas City Chiefs. She was the owner and operator of a men’s clothing store for many years and thoroughly enjoyed interacting with her customers. She was an accomplished seamstress and later taught herself to quilt. She loved dogs and her corgi, Catie, was always by her side.
Cris is survived by her three sons, 12 grandchildren, 35 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great-grandchildren, and of course, Catie. Her husband died in 1998 and she never remarried.
