She graduated from George Washington High School in 1963 and went on to attend Mills College and graduated from the University of Iowa in 1967. Chris worked in the technology industry, and obtained a C.P.A. later in her career. She was an avid runner, and was passionately involved in her church choir, piano and writing. She devoted many hours to volunteering with CASA. She found great joy in spending time with her grandchildren, particularly in immersing them in the arts.
She is preceded in death by her father Robert, and her mother Mary Frances Taylor.
She is survived by her husband Bill, stepmother Mary Susan Taylor, daughter and spouse Susan and David Marx, stepdaughter and spouse Barbara and Jon Laing, stepson Douglas Bussell, brother and spouse Robin Taylor and Richard DiBella, sisters and their spouses Debbie and John Chehak, Susan and Tom Chehak, and Meredith and Ulises DuBon, sister in law Mary Ellen Kaufman, her 6 grandchildren, Katie Bussell, Nathan Laing, and Emily, Charlie, Adelyn and Lyla Marx, and many nieces and nephews.
Chris was known by loved ones for her love of ballet, music, theatre, running, yoga, singing, writing, volunteering, and most of all, her endless love for and dedication to her family. She was deeply rooted in her spiritual journey and found peace and comfort through reading and journaling her questions, learnings, and understandings. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
In lieu of flowers, because Chris lived her life in service of others, her family requests that friends of Chris and those wishing to pay their respects do so in the form of support and donations for CASA For the Highland Lakes, 1719 Ridgeview Dr, Kingsland, TX 78639 (www.highlandlakescasa.com).
