Christa Lynn Griffiths

Christa Lynn Griffiths, age 61, of Rawlins, Wyoming, formerly of Garnett, Kansas, passed away on Sunday, October 16, 2016, at her home. Christa was born February 7, 1955 at Garnett, Kansas. She was the first of five children born to Omer and Connie (Holloran) Hermreck. Christa grew up in Garnett, attending Holy Angels School and graduating from Garnett High School in 1973. Following high school, she worked as a C.N.A. at the Anderson County Hospital and local nursing homes for several years. Christa married Bobby Griffiths, and they were blessed with one son, R.J. They made their home in Garnett before moving to Salina, Kansas and then eventually moving to Rawlins, Wyoming. Christa later returned to Garnett to care for her mother until her passing. In the years following her mother’s passing, Christa spent time in Garnett and Rawlins. Christa’s life was guided by her devotion to faith, family and friends. She absolutely loved her family and friends. Her ability to recall birthdays, special events and dates is a resource that her family will miss dearly. Christa was the one in her family that would coordinate reunions and family gatherings as those events were very important to her. “Aunt TT” loved and was loved by her nieces and nephews, but her greatest joy was her son and grandchildren, Emma, Broc, Jace and Rylan. Christa loved the KU Jayhawks, Chiefs and Royals. She especially enjoyed watching games with her dad and his ensuing victory whistle. She was preceded in death by her parents, Connie in 2009, and Omer in 2013. Christa is survived by her beloved son, R.J. and his wife, Aubrey, of Rawlins, Wyoming; four grandchildren, Emma, Broc, Jace, and Rylan Griffiths; brother, Collin Hermreck of Wichita, Kansas; three sisters, Colette McDonnell and husband, Richard, of Garnett, Kansas, Courtney Hurley of Augusta, Kansas; Cara Tuohey and husband, Chris, of Andover, Kansas; and her beloved nieces and nephews, Jeremy, Derek, Lexee, Shante, Brad, Shelby, Kyle, Bethany, Kolten, Cameron, Kaylan, Brennan and Katie and their families. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, October 24, 2016, at Holy Angels Catholic Church in Garnett, Kansas. Burial will follow in the Holy Angels Cemetery in Garnett. Family will greet friends following a Rosary at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday evening at the church. Memorial contributions may be made to St. Rose School and left in care of the funeral home.
