I am so very sorry to hear of Kristis passing. We met at Farm Bureau in 2001 and instantly bonded. Memories are full of fun and laughter with holidays and birthday celebrations. Dinner and movie nights with Kristi, Barb, and I will always be remembered. She was a kind and caring person. My dear friend, you are loved, and you will be missed by all. You flew to heaven way too early. Rest in peace, dear Kristi.

Kristi and I met at New Hope UMC, and extended our friendship at Walnut Hills UMC. Our sons were friends in youth group.
Kristi had a wonderful smile that would light up any room. Her dedication to her family was paramount in her life. The way that she committed herself fully to projects and work was admirable. She just showed up whenever needed.
My deepest condolences to Matthew and Family.

I am so saddened to hear of Kristis passing. I worked with her at IAA for many years, I actually have her old desk now at the Farm Bureau office, helped her clean it out just a few months back, she was so excited for retirement. I will always remember her smiling face and her sweet demeanor. She will be greatly missed. Many prayers to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Kristi's passing. We became close friends when I began working at Farm Bureau in 2004. We got together for lunch nearly every day, celebrated birthdays and holidays with dinners and movie nights, and enjoyed getting together after work for fun and conversation. Recently, Kristi, Mary Ann, and I got together for lunch in advance of my moving to Vermont. I am so glad we had that last opportunity to get together. My hope was that Kristi would have the opportunity to come visit me in Vermont. But, God had other plans. I will miss her. She had a beautiful spirit and it was an honor to be her friend. I know all of her family and friends will miss her. Rest in peace, Kristi.

I am so very sorry to hear of Kristis passing. She was a secretary for my dad at Farm Bureau for awhile, and I had the pleasure of working with her often. Such a lovely lovely lady. She will be dearly missed. My most sincere condolences to her family and friends, at such a difficult time. Rest peacefully Kristi. If you see Ben, give him my love.

I did Kristis hair for a long time. She was a wonderful woman who talked so highly of her son and daughter in law. We had lots of laughs and great conversations. She will be missed.
