Christy (Chris) Seefried Hernandez was born April 13, 1949 to William Fredrick and Shirley May Gneiting Seefried at the LDS Hospital in Idaho Falls, Idaho. She was the second of four children born to this family. Christy’s early years were spent in Blackfoot. In 1959, Christy’s parents bought a ranch in Mackay, and moved the family there. Christy graduated from Mackay High School in 1967.
Christy met the love of her life, Johnny R. Hernandez, in Roberts, Idaho. They were married May 24, 1970, in Idaho Falls. One of the first places they lived was Menan, Idaho. It was in Menan, that the first of their two sons, Lonnie, was born. In the next 3 years, they lived all over southern Idaho…Ririe, Roberts, Lewisville, Howe, Pocatello, American Falls, & Blackfoot.
Their second son, Johnny Jr., was born while the family was living in Blackfoot. Also, while living in Blackfoot, the Teton Dam broke, and the family had about 8 feet of water in the house they were living in. Eventually the family would settle in American Falls, where Christy would spend the rest of her life.
Christy worked at various restaurants, as a cook, most of her adult life. Like her mother, Shirley, she was known far and wide as an excellent cook.
