Chris was a graduate of WAHS class of 1977 and graduated summa cum laude from Penn College with a degree in human services and psychology. She was employed by Hope for several years before opening her private childcare, where she was “Aunt Chris” to 42 children. Chris was always involved in her children’s school and sports activities and attended all games and events. She loved being out walking, reading, and spending time with her grandchildren, the loves of her life.
