Christy was an amazing person, a kind and loving soul, that from an early age, loved children. Being the oldest of 5 kids, she often tried to mother her brothers, and protect them. She loved being the oldest, and at times was known to be a bit bossy!
Christy met the love of her life Brant, and was married on March 25th 2000, and to this union Logan and Morgan were born. Christy’s children were two of her biggest accomplishments. She was born to be a mom, and loved every second of it. From Little League, to Dance, from Football to Cheer, Christy was always there cheering on her kids. While raising her children, Christy became a 2nd mom to all of Logan, and Morgan’s friends, and was just as proud of their accomplishments, as she was of her own kids.
In 2003, Christy made public her faith, and followed Jesus’s footsteps in baptism, and became a member of Macon First Baptist Church. Christy was strong in her faith, and loved volunteering in the nursery, and children’s church, showing the love of Jesus to everyone she could.
For almost 20 years, Christy worked at Macon Head Start, and Ms. Christy, became a favorite of many children and parents. She was always doting over her work kids. Not a day went by, that Christy wasn’t bragging about someone, posting accolades of others achievements, or giving words of encouragement to those she loved. Christy was never boastful of herself, but was a cheerleader for all. Christy will be deeply missed by all those that knew and loved her, but her example, and attitude, made a positive impact on thousands of lives.
