Chris had been employed for 21 years at St. Mary’s Catholic School as the office manager, secretary, and all around the “Go to Person” who always made things happen. This was a position she held over the years that developed into much more than just a job. Chris was a true blessing to the school and the many who knew her. Prior to working at St. Mary’s School, she was the office manager for JR Kuntz Company in Dayton, Ohio. Chris was also a very active member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church.
