According to her obituary on the Levandoski-Grillo Funeral Home website, the Belleville resident "poured her heart into her family," raising her two daughters Angelina and Arianna, alongside her husband of 21 years, Pablo.
"Though soft-spoken, Cris carried within her a quiet fire — a strength that inspired, a firmness that came from love, and a heart full of selflessness," her obituary reads. "Whether it was gently correcting, warmly encouraging, or offering a knowing smile, she always gave the best of herself to those she loved.
"Professionally, Cris was a talented nail technician, but it was at St. Thomas the Apostle Church where she found true fulfillment. There, she offered not only her work but also her heart, becoming a warm and dependable presence within the parish."
A GoFundMe for the family had raised more than $7,000 as of press time.
Services were held on Thursday, May 30, with cremation at the Rosedale Crematory in Montclair.
