Christy received her first Holy Communion at Holy Name Church, Kimberly and enjoyed attending their Special Education Religious Program. Christy enjoyed spending time at the family cottage on Lake Poygan fishing, swimming, boating and visiting the neighbors! She participated in Special Olympics bowling and swimming. She loved everything bridal: dresses, veils, music, bouquets and dancing. Christy also enjoyed all types of music, writing, making hook rugs and all animals. She participated in the Beaming Program, riding and grooming horses until she was no longer able.

Christy had the unique talent of remembering birth and anniversary dates and enjoyed reminding family of upcoming events.
