    Crista passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones Saturday, January 18, 2020 in Aurora, Colorado. 
    She was born December 4, 1969 in Lamesa, Texas to Don Lea and Jan (Boyd) Chiles. She graduated from Lamesa High School in 1988. She received her bachelor’s in accounting at Texas A&M University in December of 1992. 
    She loved riding horses and quilting. The love of the Lord, family and friends brought her the most enjoyment. The last week of her life Crista and her nurse were chatting about life, Crista said “these days my fun is ‘Looking for the Silver Lining’ because there is always one.” Her last words were “I’m good, I’m ready for ‘THE WEDDING’, with God”. She will be missed by all who loved her. Rest in Peace Sweet Angel.
