My sincere condolences to the family. Chris gave me my very first job in 1990. I came out of high school knowing what I wanted to do and was able to find it with her. I worked for her for about 10 years and learned an incredible amount from her. I hope your family finds comfort in knowing she was loved by so many of her staff, parents, and especially her students. Love to you all.

I am so sorry for your loss! She gave me my start as a teacher by trusting me to be her co-teacher and Kindergarten teacher. May she RIP.

We were so very sorry to hear of Chris's passing. Our kids attended her school the entire time it was open and they loved her. We remember her very fondly as she took great care of our kids for many years. Unfortunately, we were unable to make the memorial today but are thinking of her family during this time.
