Cristi Ann Lewis
November 19, 1970 ~ December 30, 2020
Cristi Ann (Remster) Lewis, 50, of Clayton, went peacefully into the comforting embrace of God, on December 30, 2020 after a long and courageous battle with her health. Cristi was born on November 19, 1970 in Indianapolis to Robert Stephen Remster and Sherrie Ann (Cooper) Remster. On December 18, 1993 in the Mooresville First Christian Church, Cristi was united in marriage to Aaron Todd Lewis. This loving union produced her two beloved red heads, Macy and Makenzie Lewis.
Cristi attended Monrovia Schools graduating in 1989. She went on to attend college and cosmetology school where she became a talented nail technician. Cristi had many roles throughout her life such as working for Professional Garage Door, In Trend, and Abstract & Title Company. Above all these positions, Cristi was a devout wife, mother, MiMi, daughter, and friend.
There was not a meal Cristi couldn’t master; to be able to enjoy one of her meals and hospitality was to love her. Her most notable dishes were her homemade chicken and dumplings, apple crisp, hash brown casserole, snickerdoodles, and pot roast. Cristi was extremely creative and could see just about any project through. From helping Macy and Makenzie with their indoor 4-H projects such as flowers or gift wrapping to creating her beautiful wreaths and Christmas trees, Cristi was exceptionally talented.
When not cooking or decorating, Cristi enjoyed vacationing in Florida, watching her favorite Hallmark movies, playing Euchre and Bunco, sitting on her front porch, talking on the phone to her brother, Trevor every day, and working in her yard maintaining her lovely landscaping. Cristi was an incredibly gorgeous woman who could light up any room she walked into. She was always well dressed and had her hair and nails done beautifully. Despite her various health issues she endured throughout her life, she persevered through each of them with grace and strength. She was incredibly faithful and attended Monrovia Christian Church, Plainfield Bible Church, and Hazelwood Christian Church throughout her life.
Cristi did not know a stranger. She could be on a vacation far from home and immediately befriend someone. She was the first to lend a smile to a stranger or give up her place in line at the grocery store. She had a generous heart of gold with a personality and spirit that were one-of-a-kind. Cristi knew just about anyone and everyone; her infectious laugh and witty antics will be greatly missed by all of those who knew and loved her.
Cristi is preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Robert and Wanda (Stephen) Remster and her maternal grandparents, William “Bill” and Mary Ermine (Mavity) Cooper; her beloved cousins, Todd and Sandra (Corcoran) Smith; and her precious Maltese, Daffini Marie.
Survivors include her husband of 27 years, Aaron Todd Lewis; beloved daughters, Macy (Walter) Colvin and Makenzie Lewis; father, Steve (Sarah) Remster; mother, Sherrie Remster; cherished brother, Trevor (Angela) Remster; siblings, Bryan (Robyn) Hughes, Amy (Bryant) Hoffer, and Michael (Amber) Hughes; nieces and nephews, Haley, Ella, Dylan, Coleman, Griffin, and Hudson; her bonus son, Kody Sprague and bonus grandchild, Mylan Sprague; her precious poodle, Gidget Rose; and many extended family members and dear friends.
Cristi’s family would like to extend a special thank you to all of the medical professionals who cared for her over the years, but especially her ICU nurses as of recent at Hendricks Regional Health: Christina Barth, Chante Mayfield, Sarah Ross, Lindsay Masters, Joey Harder, and Jaqueline Royer.
To do their part in preventing the spread of COVID, the Lewis family will hold a private family visitation for Cristi. On Thursday, January 7th, 2021 at 11:00 AM Cristi’s funeral service will be live streamed by visiting www.CarlisleBranson.com. Following the funeral service, Cristi will be buried near her family at White Lick Cemetery in Mooresville. In lieu of flowers, Macy and Makenzie have made the decision to start a scholarship fund in their mother's memory that benefits a child who is active in 4-H in both indoor and livestock projects as Cristi was very passionate about helping the girls with their projects. Checks can be made to the Cristi Lewis 4-H Memorial Scholarship Fund, and can be mailed to Carlisle-Branson Funeral Service, 39 East High Street, Mooresville, IN 46158. Please visit www.CarlisleBranson.com to leave an online condolence or to share a favorite memory with Cristi’s family.

Cristi will be missed dearly by all of us, but the memories she gave all of us will never be forgotten.
My deepest condolences. You will continue to be in my prayers.
My Dearest Macy, Mackenzie and Aaron. Only meeting your beautiful mom on a couple of occasions at Chris and Dianne Smiths, I can say without hesitation what a warm wonderful woman she was. She loved your Dad, and ABSOLUTELY ADORED her girls. You both have the VERY best of her running through your veins, and my deepest most heartfelt condolences go out to you all. Sending you LOVE, PRAYERS, and STRENGTH, as you all go through this time of grief. I love you Macy. Love Jodi
My deepest Condolences and all my love and prayers!
My deepest condolences. I only met Cristi a few times when I lived with Macy in college. From the first time I met Cristi, she treated me like a daughter. One of my most vivid memories of her was when she treated Macy & I to lunch at Puccini’s and she gave her best mom advice to watch those Purdue boys and try to be on our best behavior but to make lots of memories. Life happens and I don’t get to see Macy as much as I would like now but I’ll always remember those days at Purdue and the times I got to spend with Cristi as well. Sending love and prayers to Macy, Makenzie, and Aaron.
Cristi was a beautiful person inside and out. I didn’t see her very often anymore but when we would run into each other she always had a smile on her face. I am so sorry for your loss.
We are so sorry for your loss, having gone through it just a few months ago . May god grant you peace in her memory.
Beautiful inside and out. Kind, caring, and a good woman. You will be missed by many. I am sad for all the loved one you leave behind. Watch over them ߒ—
I remember when Kody was bringing me over to meet you for the first time; I was so scared you wouldn’t like me. I wanted you to not only like me but to love this Indiana girl raised in Florida. Pulling up to this big beautiful house I thought to myself as I got a lump in my throat “oh lord I’m doomed”. Little did I know walking in I would be welcomed with opened arms and as if you knew me my whole life. We hit it right off my nerves went right away. Not only will the boys miss you because oh man are they missing you, but I too will miss our talks that no one knew about. 😉 I will take good cause of your son Kody and your grand baby MyMy. We love you! Xoxo.
Christy was always beautiful and very sweet and kind when I would see her she always wanted to know how I was doing
No better place to get advice then sitting in her bed with her, while hallmark movies played in the background. Always a mom to everyone, she has always given me the best advice, words that I will truly cherish.
I was so lucky to have met Cristi when Madison started cheering at Elite in Clayton. She was the only mom who talked to me! I remember the day I met her, she was so beautiful and put together, with her perfect hair and that gorgeous smile! Which later on her and I would laugh because she would tease that her hair was like news anchors-she joked and said “Cristi Lewis Channel 6 News” she was always making me laugh! She always took me under her wing and always cared about my girls and I so genuinely. I will always cherish all of our memories with her and I will miss our weekly phone calls so much! I am heartbroken that I won’t ever see your face or hear your voice again. Cristi made all of the flower arrangements for Madison’s wedding and they were the most gorgeous arrangements I’ve ever seen! We had so much fun together that night and I would have never gotten everything done without her! I was so lucky to have her for my friend, I won’t ever forget you Cristi and thank you for always being my true friend. I love you dearly and I will see again one day. Love always, Jenni Gibbons
You mom was an amazing lady with a beautiful heart she will be missed praying for you all doing this very difficult time Kris Brock
Sincerest condolences, will pray for peace & comfort for all of her family. Cristi was a classmate that I’ve known since kindergarten when we used to ride together. I’ll remember her as belonging to a category of the nicest people you could hope to meet who would talk to anyone.
Tiffany, this is beautifully written and made Makenzie and I cry. Thank you so very much for your support and love at this time.
So sorry for the loss of Cristi! May GOD comfort and bless you during this difficult time! Love and prayers, Pamela K. Payton
My thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family in this time. There was a long period growing up, Macy and I were best of friends. I spent a lot of nights with her. I was always welcome in her home. Cristi always made me feel welcome and wanted. Between her motherly talks, delicious meals she would whip up, her telling us unique ways of using a hairdryer (inside knowledge), QVC playing nonstop and her letting us know what she absolutely needs next, or hearing “Macyyyy…” from downstairs while we were in the loft bedroom. She will always be a beautiful, cherished person from some of my most formative years.
Remember you and the girls well from Megan’s softball days when she played for Belleville and Aaron was her coach. The funniest memory I have is when Aaron tossed them ball to Megan and she put it through little bits family suv yep Aaron had some explaining to do. I’m absolutely in disbelief that cristi passed away after her courageous battle with cancer then Covid so so sad remember you fondly my dear lol Rodney, Dorothy, Megan, and Patrick Lewis
Please know your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
Prayers and hugs to the family. Cristi was such a great friend to all. She was no doubt one of my best friends. We had so many long talks on the phone while in high school. Cristi was always sweet and kind to all. I will miss her smile , her laugh, and her hugs. Her memory will last forever. Prayers to the family Todd Sconce
Im so sorry to hear about Christi. Im a fellow classmate of hers at Monrovia and thought of her fondly. You and your family are in my prayers! Donna Gosser-Fredrick
Macy and Wooty, I love both you girls even though I’ve only known you a short while. You are Kody’s family which means you are mine too in my eyes and heart. If you girls need anything or even dad just let me know. Didn’t mean to make you girls cry. P.s I have high standards to live up to because Kody always talked to highly of your mom and how she always had her hair, makeup and nails done no matter what. Eek: My heart is with you all during this time more than ever. Love you ladies! ߒ‹- Tiffany
Sending prayers and love to your family.
Sorry for your loss, my deepest condolences to the family.
I worked with Cristi at Sycamore store in Mooresville. She was so kind hearted and a pleasure to be around. I am truly sorry for your loss. This would be a great place if there were more Cristis in this world .
My sincere apologies for the loss of your beautiful mom… my heart just aches. I will continue to pray for you all in this time of need. I will also be forever blessed that Cristi was in my life❤️ I enjoyed Bunco with her and spending the time in Florida with her . We’d laughed, binge watched Hallmark Channel and just enjoying our time together. I’d watch intently as she’d spend an endless amount of time teasing her hair and putting on makeup just to run to the store ߘbݤ️ She always looked like her hair and makeup had been professionally done. A memory we had one day We went to the beach on a windy day and the umbrella flew out of the sand and I can still see your mom and I chasing that crazy thing just laughing. You were blessed to call her mom❤️ I was blessed to have had her in my life. Ronda Bandy
I’m so sorry for the loss of this lady , we were teenage friends , she would pick me up when I was 15 we spent the summers at south lake , swimming and hanging out with friends , she was such a generous and loving person , and I will cherish our memories as kids , she had stopped by just a week or so before she went into the hospital just to check on me during a traumatic time in my life , But that’s who she was . Prayers to the Lewis family and those beautiful red headed daughters god bless

Steve, Carol and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. We didn’t know Christi, but we wanted you to know we were thinking of you and your family. Carol and Ron Griffith
I have so many wonderful memories with Cristi, from our weekends at Bill and Sandy Smiths playing “killer” to driving down the road blaring and singing Motley Crue. Cristi was an amazing friend to me, so kind, giving and full of wisdom. She was always wise beyond her years. I used to jokingly call her “grandma”. We had so much fun growing up, lots of laughs and tears of course. I will forever cherish my memories of her. I hope she knows how much she meant to me and how she touched my life. I love you Cristi.
So sorry for your loss, you have your most sincere sympathy. Owners snd staff of Colvin Funeral Homes
