Cris worked at the Home Depot in Waterloo for 18 years where everyone she met loved and trusted her. She spent her entire life working with people and enjoyed people immensely; she was able to get people to open up and share their life stories often only minutes after meeting.  She loved to garden and enjoyed watching and caring for the birds and little critters in her garden.  Cris also enjoyed cooking and was an avid reader.
