Christina Joy Schindler, 33, of Evansville, IN passed away unexpectedly at home on Tuesday, October 23, 2018. She was born in Evansville on March 26, 1985 to William, Jr. and Joy Schindler. She attended Evansville Day School through 6th grade, then 7th and 8th grade at Oak Hill Middle School. Christi graduated from North High School where she was a member of American Musical Ambassadors and Marching Band, playing Alto Sax for 4 years. She was nicknamed “CJ” in the band because there were so many girls named Christi. While in Evansville, she held various positions at Casino Aztar and Toyota Care Resources. She moved to Naples, FL in 2014 where she owned Barefoot Paradise Residential Cleaning, then moved back to Evansville in 2017 due to a hurricane and her health. Christi loved her adopted animals Levi, Lilo and Bootsie, and her python snake, Buttercup. Her greatest love was being in the Backstreet Boy fan club and she followed them all over the U.S. and Vegas. She had a passion for adult coloring. We will miss her pretty face and beautiful smile.
