Christina Rose Smith was born April 26, 1965 and taken into God’s loving arms on August 7, 2021. Chrissy worked hard to be God’s hands and feet, to help those in need, and to serve others with her time and with her heart. The Christina Rose Smith Foundation seeks to continue her legacy of kindness, generosity and love of people by supporting her dedication and commitment to local youth and community.

Chrissy lived her life surrounded by family and friends. A “middle child” (as she reminded everyone), she brought friends into the fold who became family. Chrissy united and connected ALL as she raced through her life to make it to somebody’s next important moment or event. She connected easily with everyone and even adopted the friends of her family members. She knew what was important to each person because they became part of her story too.

Chrissy was the epitome of living life to the fullest. From riding her bike, playing tennis or golf, swimming, or paddle boarding to spontaneously visiting her friends and family, she was always on the go. She traveled and continued to collect more friends along the way. She was passionate about good food, good wine, and good music. She loved the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Blackhawks, Indiana Hoosiers, and Rafael Nadal (to name a few). Her zest for life was unmatched.

As a professional, she did not accept mediocrity in serving her clients. She was an excellent physical therapist professionally and personally to family members, friends and strangers that became her community. She never turned down an opportunity to help out another in need, and we can all grow from her examples of compassion for others.

Chrissy was a daughter, sister, super aunt, cousin, friend, neighbor, athlete, mentor, and community supporter. She juggled those roles with love in her heart and unending energy and dedication.
