Chris’ passions were writing, painting and art pouring, ancestry research, fashion and design, and collecting vintage movie and theater histories. She was a member of and won awards from Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers. She also enjoyed card games and an occasional slot machine.
Chris married David Winiecki in 1994 in a small ceremony at the Lowry Air Force Base in Denver, Colorado.
Chris is survived by her husband (David Winiecki), her sister (Patricia Byron), spouse (Marion Delanoy) of her late brother (Rich Delanoy), her sister-in-law and husband (Kathy and Tom Kautz), and nephews and nieces.
