Kristi was born in Wenatchee, WA to Samuel & Patricia (Woster) Stone. She has one older sister, Michelle “Mikki” and one younger brother, Sam II. As all middle kids know, in order to stand out in the crowd, Kris had to be the quickest wit, funniest clown, world class spitfire, and (in her case) worst driver. In the last category she was the undisputed champion. She left a string of orange Hondas from the Northwest to South Carolina and back!
Kris was a Jill of all trades, free spirit like no other, absolutely certain in her opinions, and sure of her status in ‘Kristi World’. She became a pilot in high school, eventually reaching a skill level that attracted attention in the 80’s from a commercial airline. She was courted to become their first female pilot. However, by that time, she “was done with that part of her life” – a sentiment that almost caused our father to be done with all of her life! Kristi was a crop duster, flight instructor, beet truck driver, PVF packer, picker, and flagger in this area. She also lived for several years in Isle of Palms, South Carolina, working on a shrimp boat with her dear friends, Captain Jerry & Lee Baldwin.
