She is also survived by her son, Bob Alston and his wife Lora, of McKinney, Texas; her daughter, Sandy Fleming of Austin, Texas; her grandson, Zachary Alston and his wife Melissa of McKinney, Texas; her great-granddaughter, Mary; granddaughter, Jessica Alston, and her fiancé Jaimie Kee of McKinney, Texas; her great grandson, Jacob; Grandson Dylon Fleming and granddaughter, Britney Fleming, both of Austin, Texas; extended family, Carl and Jackie Kamenzind of Seatle, Washington; Maydell and Kelly Lewis of Kerrville; Heather and Eddie Savell of San Antonio; Justin Kamenzind, and John Kamenzind, both of San Antonio.

Chris had many loving cousins, nieces, and nephews who have always held a special place in her heart. She was filled with so much joy during a surprise visit this past June by her nephew Bruce Betancourt of Sacramento, California. She rallied back for four weeks following that special 4 days she had to spend with him. She cherished every moment of it -we all cherished every moment of it. Special thanks to Bruce, Joanne, and Skylar Betancourt for all the love and energy you brought to her and that you continue to bring to the rest of us, always. With memories of her smile so bright and her green eyes forever glowing. She will be deeply missed. The family extends a very special thanks to Seasons Hospice Palliative Care; Dr. Vicki Sparks, chaplain, Aquanetta Hicks, nurses Lori Gentis and Georgette Robbins.
