Christi Stalkfleet passed away February 8th in Wilsonville, Oregon where she was living. She was born and raised in Sitka, Alaska until she was 21 and moved to Oregon to live with her sister and be near specialized medical care.
She graduated from Sitka High School with the class of 2010. She was well known for her humor, kindness and positive attitude. She loved to socialize and be where the "action" was. Many of her friends say she was bubbly and always smiling and laughing. She could be very witty and passionate at times, which probably contributed to the fighter in her. She struggled with cystic fibrosis all of her life. She made a distinct impression on the people she met. She will always be admired by her family and friends for touching their lives with the grace of her struggle.
She loved camping, shopping, cooking and drawing. Most of all she enjoyed doing these things with the people she loved. She worked at the Dock Shack restaurant where she made many lifelong friends.
