She was born September 20, 1945, in Baltimore, MD to Marvin Duel Ponton and Bernice Jefferson Ponton, both deceased.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, James Warren Owens.
Chris is survived by her husband, Frank Bullock; two daughters, Renée Owens Hart and Cynthia Owens Fegley (Stuart); three grandchildren, Rhiannon Hart Allen, US Army Spc.

Chris was a kind and wise lady who delighted in serving others. She was an active genealogist for nearly forty years, researching her family’s history from the pre-Revolutionary War Period until the present day, including writing several books about their history, while also assisting others to find their ancestors. An avid reader, she left behind a library comprised of several thousand volumes, even after generously donating the gift of literature to schools and veterans’ organizations.
