Born August 15th, 1962 to the late Clyde J. Monroe and Merle Von Dullen Monroe in St Louis, MO, Chris spent most of her childhood in New Orleans and Picayune and was a long-time resident of Richland.  She attended Richland United Methodist Church.

Chris had many wonderful qualities that enhanced the lives of not only her family but the lives of all those that came in contact with her.  Her accepting nature made everyone feel at ease, her compassionate heart gave her the ability to help others, most times without anyone knowing.  With a self-sacrificing nature, Chris was the bedrock of her family to whom she was very faithful.
