During her young life, Christine worked in a variety of jobs throughout the Dakota"s and MN. On September 24, 1980, Chris was united in marriage to Leonard Studnek in Watertown, SD. They were blessed with five children: Chad, Adam, Theresa, Meagan and Jolene. During the course of their marriage they operated a small farm near North Branch, MN where they raised cattle, horses, pigs, ducks and geese. Chris wanted her children to grow up on a farm just as she had enjoyed as a child. In her children, she instilled a love for animals, the land and the wildlife that graced her farm. She derived great pleasure from watching the birds, deer, turkeys and sand hill cranes that she shared their farm with. She always had a pair of binoculars and a bird dictionary within reach. On October 8, 2001 Chris was united in marriage to David Feldt, a man she had known since her early teens. For a number of years they traveled between Burnsville, MN and their farm near Wolf Lake. When David retired from Northwest Airlines, they made their home full time on the farm. She enjoyed reading; especially novels written by Danielle Steele, crocheting, baking, thrift shopping, watching animal planet and being involved in the lives of her children. She loved her children and grandchildren with all her heart and devoted herself to being a very patient, loving and wise mom. She was committed to giving her children a better childhood than she had.
