My favorite first cousin and fellow CCHS67 graduate. Like a sister. Helluva basketball player. Knew how to throw and elbow!

I knew Chris from Cosgrove and high school. We played basketball together for three years. Many fond memories of those times. She was kind, fun and outgoing! I hadn’t seen Chris for many years, but reconnected of Facebook. As a mother, parent and grandparent it was vey evident how proud she was of her family! My deepest condolences to you all!

Chris was always so supportive of her grandchildren and other kids-as an extension- she had "adopted". She was also the best tenant my father could ask for at the beauty shop as well as a wonderful boss and friend to my recently deceased sister-in-law. There's no question Chris will be greatly missed by the community! Our sympathies to the entire family. <3 Brent and Deb Donohoe

The Zinkula’s were my 2nd family when Todd and I were young. I spent so much time at that house in Downey and Chris always made sure I got enough party pizza before Todd finished the rest!
I’m so sad for your loss but am truly happy that I got to know Chris as long as I did. She will be missed!

My sincere sympathy in your great loss. She was so very proud of her children and grandchildren. It was always interesting to hear her talk of what was going on in her family. I was a client of hers for several years and she was always happy and with a smile. A tremendous loss to this world! My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Most sincerely, Ione Walker

I had the privilege of growing up in Downey where Chris was one of the "moms". I also had the opportunity to work with her at the salon and in the more recent times enjoyed a margarita or glass of wine with her and Karen. She will be greatly missed by many. Hugs to the entire family as they share her memories ❤
