Donna Kristin Peterson---"Kristi", 53, passed away on October 29, 2018, after a 4-year battle with cancer. Kristi loved and lived her life, passionately. She considered herself, above all else, a wife and a mother, with a love for her family that had no boundaries.
Kristi grew up in Seminole County, and lived the last 19 years in Oviedo, FL. She graduated from Lake Howell High School where she participated in the Silver Regiment Flag Corps, the last year as Captain of the Corps. She graduated from Orlando College, with a Bachelor's Degree, as a paralegal, but worked most of her life in sales & marketing. She loved direct contact with people and particularly enjoyed the last 2 years, working for Publix Supermarket, in Oviedo, in the Aprons Meals Program.
She is survived by the lights of her life, her beloved husband of 25 years, Eric, and her three sons, Jake, John and Max---Her Parents, John & Donna Chambliss---Her Brother, Dennie Chambliss & wife Catherine--- and her much loved extended family, Sister-in-Law Monica (Peterson) Dubois and husband Zach, and 3 nieces, Valorie, Rebecca & Judith DuBois, and nephew, John Pierre DuBois.
Kristi's presence, in the lives of those who knew her, was larger than life. She was happy and joyful, even as she went through treatments. She once told some of us that she had 2 paths---Healing or Heaven –and she said both were wonderful. She left us better than we were, before knowing her – and with a goal to live, as she lived, love, as she loved, and have faith, as she had faith.
Kristi's Celebration of Life service will be held at Tuskawilla United Methodist Church, 3925 Red Bug Lake Road, Casselberry, FL 32707, on Saturday, November 10 at 10:30 AM, with a Reception to follow.
