Kristy Lee, Kris, Dr. Jeter were all names for an extraordinary human. Art Collector, Gourmet Cook, Historian, Avid Reader and Researcher, White Cat Fancier, and World Traveler were but a few of her interests, talents, and pursuits. As we remember this unique, one-of-a-kind woman, and all she accomplished, Kris is the embodiment of a life so very well lived.
So sorry to learn of the sudden passing of Kris.
May her memory be for a blessing, and Tom, I wish you strength and peace.

I remember her as Kristy Lee. She was so talented. When I was little, I listened each week to her storytelling hour “Lollypop Land.”
Dear Tom,
My deepest condolences! I am devastated to learn of Kris’s passing. I so enjoyed the times we spent together at the genealogical meetings and of course the Greek Nights that you both attended. May her memory be eternal.
Knew Kristy from Walsenburg. May God bless you with peace at this time
