Christine Ann Garrett, age 66, died on November 15, 2023, due to an aggressive Mullerian cancer.

She was born on December 30, 1956, at Bolling Air Force Base, Washington, DC to the late Frances I. Letsinger Garrett & William E. Garrett.

During her very young life, Chris lived in various cities across the United States due to her father's military career with one of her favorite times being in Allardt, TN with her father's relatives. In 1964, she and her mother settled in Frances's hometown of Sarcoxie, MO and Chris graduated with the Sarcoxie High School Class of 1975. Her professional life began with working for the Gilbert H. Wild & Son Nursery in Sarcoxie, but she quickly moved on to Springfield, MO where she resided for the balance of her life. She worked in accounting for Cook & Company, Pepsi and the Springfield News-Leader from which she retired.

Chris dearly loved reading, knitting and attending craft fairs. She had many longtime friends which included Sherry and Richard Reed, Brenda Courtois, Mary & John Foss, and Brenda Toler along with her dear TN cousins, Debra Hamby, Sandra Campbell and George Garrett. Her aunts Katheryn Carter and Joan Letsinger also grieve her loss along with her MO cousins, Shirley Ferry, Bruce Carter, Erica Poulson and Michael Sumaza.
