Kristi Ria "Norris" Arnold, 53 of Hamshire, Texas, entered the gates of Heaven on June 8, 2023 at Crystal Beach. Kristi was born in Port Arthur on March 6, 1970 to Harold and Linda Norris. She was a 1988 graduate of Silsbee High School and attended courses at Lamar University, thereafter. Kristi was a devoted mother to her son, Austin. He was her world. She was preceded in death by her Father and remained close with her mother, Linda, and siblings, Mark Norris, Rhonda Norris Baskin and Hilary Norris. She adored her niece and nephews, Tucker & Tyler Baskin, Kade Phillips and Shelbi & Broxton Ryder.
Kristi replicated her father's strong work ethic and quick wittedness. She spent the last few years of her life working at Crystal Beach. She never met a stranger and frequently asked for prayer for those who were sick or in need. She cared especially for those in need of a Savior. The world needs more "Kristi's". There was only one in our family and we are so proud that she was ours for the time given. Kristi will live in our hearts and our memories and in spirit until we see her again in our eternal home.
Celebration of Life and visitation to be Saturday, June 24, 2023 2pm-5pm at Grammier Oberle Funeral Home. Open mic for memories at 3:00. Private burial with immediate family to be held at Oak Bluff Cemetery in Port Neches, prior to Celebration of Life.
In lieu of flowers, a "Go Fund Me" account was set up in Kristi's name for her son Austin who will be moving to Tennessee to be closer to family. Kristi would be delighted! The funds will go towards car expense, insurance, further education & savings. Thank you all for loving our family.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.grammier-oberle.com for the Norris/Arnold family.
