   Chris graduated from North Clarion High School, the Class of 1965. She then moved to Warren Pa for a job as a secretary.

Chris continued her job as a secretary at the Job Service in Clarion and retired from Career Link in Oil City in 2000. 

   She was a devoted member of St. Michael Church. The family shares the memory that the land for the church was donated by a member of the Eisenman family. She enjoyed being a part of the choir and after retirement took great pride singing for funeral masses. 

   Chris and Lew always dedicated time every year for a garden and canning. In earlier years they enjoyed golfing with her brother Dean. They also had a love for fishing and helping to stock the waterways in the spring for trout. She also enjoyed going for walks and birding. Starting in her high school years she especially developed a fondness for Florida and Cocoa Beach after spending the summer with her sister, Jeanette and her family. In later years and after retirement she traveled frequently to Cocoa Beach with her youngest daughter and family. After starting a family many weekends were also spent at Bemus Point and Chautauqua Lake, New York with sister Karen and family.
