In her early years she was involved in many charitable organizations, including the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, Order of the Eastern Star, and served as a member of Kappa Alpha Theta women’s fraternity while attending Arizona State University.

The couple moved to Orange County, CA, Minneapolis, MN, and Redwood City, CA where Christy furthered her career in pharmaceutical sales. Eventually, she moved into the Cow Hollow District of San Francisco, the city she loved most. Her professional career spanned pharmaceutical and medical device sales and marketing from 1990 on. She spent her free time exploring the city and experiencing everything it had to offer. She was also a supporter of Autism Speaks and the Alzheimer's Association.
