Kristi was united in marriage to Michael Sean Tighe on July 11, 1998, at the Pella Historical Gardens.  To this union they were blessed with four children:  Dylan Cole, Peyton Reed, Rylan Cade and Emerson Gray.  Kristi was a homemaker and stay-at-home mom.  She enjoyed decorating their home.  She was very creative and could make old things new, by refinishing antique furniture.  Most of all, Kristi enjoyed spending time with her family, whether is was at the beach collecting sea shells or getting kids to practice or anywhere they needed to go.
