Her love for the ocean and beach outings was only matched by her enthusiasm for hosting gatherings and cookouts for family and friends. Holidays held a special place in Chrissy's heart as she delighted in all the festivities and traditions. She found light on her darkest days in her grand children and great grand children. Chrissy spent almost everyday with the "boys "and her “girls” and “her” babies, laughing and spending quality time.
