She graduated from Hillsboro High and was currently enrolled at the University of Phoenix working toward a degree in business finance. She and Joey had a long-term goal of opening a recreation center with indoor skate park and clothing store where kids could have fun but without the influence of drugs.
Kristina married her soul mate, Joey Brixey, on October 4, 2007 in Saint Helens. Their life was complete with the birth of daughter, Vienna Leann Brixey.
Being outdoors was Kristina's favorite. She enjoyed, camping, hiking, and to just walk aimlessly around the Portland streets at night. She was a member of PETA and loved animals. She liked fashion and reading and going to the ballet. She was passionate about life and could accomplish anything she set her mind to.
She had worked at Composites Universal Group in Scappoose. She was recently employed at Miratron in Portland where the laid back work environment was more appealing.
