Together they raised nine exceptional children unique in their own way. She was the loving mother of 3 courageous women and 6 fine men. Decades later, they moved to the town of Brownfield, TX to retire and enjoy the rest of their lives. Cristina, along with her husband, shared a passion for the word of God as they spent many nights and mornings reading their Bible and praying to declare blessings over their children and generations to come. Cristina had a heart of servitude in which she praised, gave thanks while actively congregating in her church Ministerio Tierra de Promesas. She loved caring for her pets whether it was her dog or her birds. She liked to maintain her home decorated with an array of colorful flowers. Along with her parents, she is preceded by her son Alfonso, her husband Amando, and her grandson Armando Jr. In addition to her siblings, her survivors include her children Olaya Ruiz and husband Cesar of Brownfield, Manuel Macias and wife Ema of Brownfield, Ramona Llamas and husband Francisco of Brownfield, Sabas Macias and wife Erendira of Meadow, Armando Macias and wife Maria Patricia of Brownfield, Daniel Macias and wife Asita of Brownfield, Gloria Steiger and husband Robert of Brownfield and Everet Macias and wife Perla Angelica of Wolfforth.

She holds a special place in the tiniest of hearts to the eldest. With gratitude, her children will continue her legacy until they meet again. Her family hopes that if anyone should remember her, they remember her as a woman of faith, love and family.
