She married James Summers in Germany in 1967 and moved to the United States. Although they lived in New York and West Virginia, Texas was Chris' most beloved State. Chris dedicated her younger years by staying at home and raising her daughters. When her youngest began school, Chris decided to fill her days by working at Blooming Grove High School Cafeteria where she could watch her children and then her grandchildren attend and graduate from BGHS. She continued the job she loved for 25 years until she retired in August 2015. Chris loved her family first and foremost. Chris was a devout Christian, often practicing her faith at home. She spent most of the last years of her life at home in Blooming Grove, Texas, which she described as her own little paradise. She loved tending to her dogs, her garden, her koi ponds and taking care of her mother. One of Chris's proudest moments was when she became a United States Citizen in 2008.
