Christy Sue Crain, 53, went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday, December 16, 2022, at Grandview Medical Center.
Christy was born in Birmingham, Alabama, on April 8, 1969, to James and Martha Crain. She lived in the Birmingham area her entire life attending Wright Elementary and Huffman High School.
Christy loved to cook and was always trying new recipes. She enjoyed listening to music – everything from Elvis and the blues to 80’s hits, country, and gospel. Christy was a lifelong Alabama football fan and enjoyed attending football games, including the 1992 and 2009 National Championships. Perhaps most of all, Christy was an animal lover. She especially loved horses and dogs. The bonds she shared with her long-time pets, Mollie, Zowie, and most recently, Sadie, were like those of a parent and child.
Christy will always be remembered for her fun-loving, spirited, witty personality, her firm opinions, and her love for life. She was a dreamer, a caretaker, a friend, and she loved her family fiercely.
Christy is survived by her parents, James “Jim” and Martha “Susie” Crain, sister Cathy (David) Massengill, brother James “Chip” (Marcie) Crain; five nieces and nephews; 11 great-nieces and nephews; numerous cousins, aunts, uncles, friends, and loved ones.
Christy is preceded in death by her grandparents Hobart and Ethel Crain and Cecil and Myrtle Lewis.
Celebration of life services for Christy Crain will be held at Jefferson Memorial Funeral Home and Gardens in Trussville, AL, on Thursday, December 22, 2022. Visitation will begin at 9:00 a.m.; service will be at 10:00 a.m., and graveside will follow immediately after. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, www.stjude.org or Greater Birmingham Humane Society, www.gbhsorg.
