Christine Marie (Harzman) Yost was born April 16, 1956 in La Crosse, KS to Fred "Bud" Harzman and Irene (Mai) Harzman. She passed from this life December 30, 2024 at Mercy Hospital in Watonga, OK.

Chris was the third child born to her family, and was always considered to be a miracle baby. The family moved to Kingfisher, OK in 1961 from Pratt, KS. Riding and showing horses at an early age was her passion. She and her sister Vienna loved their horses "Red" and "Char Bar". Chris graduated from Kingfisher High School in 1974, and married Gene Yost on August 9th, 1975 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Kingfisher, OK, a marriage that lasted over 49 years. They resided in Stillwater, OK for 2 years, moved to Alva, OK on June 1st, 1978 and settled in Crescent, OK from January 1, 1979 to present. Besides being a wife and mother, Chris found time to attend Central State University in Edmond, OK graduating with a degree in Business.

The staff at Mercy Hospital, including the doctors, nurse practitioner, nurses, cook and cleaning personnel went above and beyond providing exceptional care for Chris and her family during a very difficult time.

She is also survived by her mother Irene Harzman, brother Alan Harzman and wife Kay, and sister-in-law Sue Yost, all of Kingfisher, OK, sister Vienna Lewis of Woodward, OK and her "favorites", the nephews and nieces.
