Her step-brother Paris Crocket and his wife Dee who reside in California. She is also survived by numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends whom she loved dearly. Chris was a fun loving person who loved to have a good time. She deeply enjoyed music and dancing. Planning and taking trips and traveling to both new and familiar destinations, including the beach, mountains and abroad. She loved to make and record memories and with her children, family and friends. She enjoyed the adventure of finding new places and enjoyed the wonder in all she saw and experienced. When she was home she could be found planning a party or gathering, decorating the home, enjoying her yard and pool and listening to music. She enjoyed art and architecture as well and these were often the focus of her travels. Chris enjoyed worshipping God through music, dance and prayer much like the biblical David. She enjoyed yoga, fitness, swimming in the pool and roller skating. Often seen skating with her children. Chris grew up an 80’s “valley girl”. She enjoyed her “retail therapy” and was often at Kohls and thrift shops sourcing gifts for the home, family and friends. Shopping and decorating allowed Chris to showcase her creativity and talents for finding the right gift or just the right décor. As an 80’s girl she loved music, especially Prince and was an avid superfan of his. She attended many concerts of his as well as other artists she enjoyed. She enjoyed the energy of live music and dancing. As much as Chris enjoyed her home, she also enjoyed her backyard filled with her dogs, flowers, swimming pool and décor. It was her oasis at home, in which she could enjoy the sunshine, music and water and relish life. Her children remember her most as the one in the room who was always trying to tell a joke to make others laugh with her quick wit. Her laugh and cackle were memorable. Chris was like a beautiful butterfly who fluttered from flower to flower spreading her kindness, love and beauty every where she went. All she wanted was to spread love and joy to others. Her pretty smile and piercing green eyes will be greatly missed and forever cherished. Because Chris loved flowers and the beauty of nature, these embellishments are most welcome as well as donations that may made would be towards mental health awareness in schools for students. Posey Funeral Directors of North Augusta is in charge of local arrangements (803.278.1181).
