A lifelong Disney fan, Chrissy’s story was as magical as the world she loved. It was at Disney World that she met the love of her life, her devoted husband, 25 years ago. Together, they built a beautiful life filled with laughter, adventure, and countless cherished memories.

Chrissy’s greatest joy was her family, especially her adored son and her cherished nieces and nephews. She was a wonderful friend to so many, always ready with a warm smile, a listening ear, and the perfect thoughtful gift. Her kindness and generous spirit touched everyone she met.

Known for her joyful, bubbly personality, Chrissy had a way of making people feel instantly at ease. She loved storytelling, music, and movies of all kinds, and was an avid collector of Disney treasures and Funko Pops. She also had a surprising passion for wrestling, proudly supporting local leagues and cheering on her favorites with enthusiasm.

Chrissy had a unique sense of style, always put together and always shining, and she naturally became the center of attention wherever she went. Her energy, laughter, and love made every gathering brighter.

Chrissy was dearly loved and will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all whose lives she touched.
