Gayle and Amy, I am so sorry for your loss. She meant a lot to us Quill coworkers. I will never forget how she kept a stash of chocolate candy in her desk drawer and if someone needed a sugar fix, we would go to her! LOL. There are so many happy memories of what a sweet, thoughtful lady she was. May you both have peace knowing that she was loved by many!

Thoughts and Prayers While I was volunteering at the Ash Flat Library, she helped me with the publicity I sent to the paper about library events. Chris and my Mother had a Shannon County connection…the Catletts and Browns. So sorry for your loss.

For more than thirty years I had contact with Chris on a professional level. Chris was very kind and helpful to me all those years. I know her death is a great loss and I want to express my sympathy to her family and friends.
I also want to mention that Chris was a charter member of the Ozark Spring Chapter Daughter of the American Revolution. Although she was not an active member for some time, we are grateful for her hard work to help get the chapter established and for the support she gave Ozark Spring Chapter DAR the last forty years since the chapter was established.
