Raised in beautiful Landreth Manor in Bristol Township, she recently moved to Yardley in early 2017. Kris was a 1985 graduate of Harry S Truman High School where she grew her love for sports. She excelled in baseball as one of the few girls on the Bristol Township All Star Little League Baseball Team in 1978. Later she played on several travel softball teams, most notably, The Lucky Ladies. She played several other sports, including basketball, flag football, and pool.Kris loved all Philadelphia sports teams, especially the Eagles. Her Happy Place was Cape May, NJ. Ultimately, her greatest joy was spending time with her niece and nephew, Kelsea and James, her "besties." She was their biggest fan.

Kris worked for Acme Markets for 32 years at various locations including Newtown and was a member of UFCW Local 1360. Here she met her "dinner club" friends, Pat Long, Christine Taylor, and Donna Osbourne.
