Christa worked as the manager of Southwestern Life Credit Union before retiring to dedicate her time as a devoted stay-at-home mother. She was a longtime member of Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, where her faith was a cornerstone of her life. 

Known for her warmth and joy, Christa had a passion for gardening, traveling with her husband to Branson, and humming while working around the house. She loved a lively game of Skip-Bo and was an avid bowler, participating in leagues with her employer.
