Kris is a kind-hearted and passionate advocate for the mission of Center for People.
She loves being able to contribute anywhere she can to support the local community in Lincoln. She cherishes her family, and especially loves playing with her grandkids. A lover of good stories and life’s simple joys, she’s always happy to tell you about the many wonderful and unexpected adventures she’s been on.
“I’m an ordained minister – got to become one and went to Paris to marry an Extreme home makeover show couple from LNK. They asked if I could go there and surprise a couple on a yacht…18 years ago. Got a passport in 2-4 days. Only Hollywood does that sort of magic.”
“‘Brown Eye Girl.’ My daughter always used to dance to it; Troy and I danced to it too. Our family thing. My grandaughter.”
“Meditation. To really chillax. To calm down, so that I’m not high-strung all the time.”
“When I left work with a hysterectomy after trying to get pregnant for 8 years. Got a call if you want to adopt a girl. I try to do it my way, you think there’s a plan, you have one, and there’s a master plan. Went from despair to adopting a newborn and foster parent…. Hang out for the ride. Never give up hope. There’s always something bigger than what we think.”
