While teaching in the Kettering City Schools she completed her Master’s degree from Wright State.

In her retirement Chris began a second career as an Arbonne representative and was quite successful. Chris belonged to the Huber Heights Chamber of Commerce. The other loves of her life were her dogs, all West Highland terriers and her two black cats. Chris was an enthusiastic gardener wanting to keep her yard and landscaping neatly trimmed. She also enjoyed sewing and crafting. Her highlight of every year were her vacations to Folly Beach, South Carolina with her daughter and longtime friend, Mary. She leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband, Tom Tudor; a daughter, Deanna Lance and her fiancé Adam Merritt; and three siblings, Mark Riggle, Paul (Luray) Riggle and Pam (Kelvin) Weller. Chris is also survived by step children, Jeff, Andy and Sara; step-grandchildren, Camryn, Sammy, Natalie, Anna and Dean and several nieces and nephews.

Chris was a very caring person who was devoted to her family and would often go out of her way to help others, even in death as an organ donor.
