Kristi graduated from Mount Saint Marys School of Nursing in Los Angeles, California with a B.S. in Nursing. She became a Nursing Coordinator at Cedars Sinai Hospital Liver Transplant Unit. Throughout her life, beginning when she was very small, she always had a dog by her side. In order they are: Snorkel, Dachsund; Charlie Brown #1&2, English Bulldogs; Dutch, Miniature Dachsund; Cherokee & Cheyenne, German Shepherds; Chief and Sarge, English Bull Dogs; Rooney, Boston Terrier; Abby, English Bulldog. She loved them all dearly.
Kristi grew up in the mountains of Colorado, spending time with her cousins and extended family, sometimes going to Loveland from Ohio with her brother for a two -week vacation in the summer and swimming in the ice water of the streams.
She loved music. Her high school favorites were Neil Diamond and John Denver with some classical music in from music lessons. She enjoyed playing the piano, sometimes duets with her mother. When the families would gather for a sing along “It’s a Grand Old Flag” was a duet favorite. Her Father, Uncle, and Grandfather all had beautiful voices.
Services for Kristi will be in Colorado in the summertime in her beloved mountains with her family.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all I need.
He maketh me to lie down in green meadows:
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of good things
For Yea though I walk through a dark and dreary land I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.
