Christi was born Nov. 30, 1961, in Littlefield, TX, to Samuel and Caron (Copeland) Thomas. She graduated from Olton High School in 1980 and was a dog groomer for 23 years in Littlefield. Christi moved to Littlefield in 1998 from Olton and then moved to Plainview in 2019. She was involved in animal rescue and the Littlefield Animal Project. A talented artist, Christi’s pen and pencil drawings won best of show, twice, at the South Plains Fair and her bronze sculptures were once purchased by renowned artist Kenneth Wyatt.

The family suggests memorials be made to the Plainview EMS in Plainview, Texas or a local dog rescue program.
