During their marriage they lived in Austin and moved to Waco in 1969. She was employed as a Secretary at American Income Life for more than 20 years. Survivors include three sons; Rickey Armbruster and wife Jan of Santa Rosa Beach, FL, Terry Armbruster and wife Karen of Lorena, Ritchie Armbruster and wife Debi of Austin, one daughter; Susan Lechner of Waco; and three grandchildren; Daniel Armbruster, Amanda Avants, and Tyler Armbruster.

A wonderful mother and loving grandmother, Christine was one of the most selfless people, beautiful on the inside and out. She will be missed and remembered fondly. She was a true homemaker, an avid bowler, and enjoyed playing slot machines with her friends.
The family would like to specially thank Brandi, Misty and Jessica with Bluebonnet Hospice for their devoted care.

I worked with Chris for years at AIL. She was a lovely person and always had a smile on her face. May God put his arms around you and wrap you in his love, during your time of grief.

Terry, Karen, Daniel, Amanda and family... I love you all so much, and I am so sorry for your loss. Terry, your mom was so sweet and fun to be around. She had such a cute smile, and I will always remember the fun we had with her at the out of town tournaments, bowling and playing cards. Hold on tight to the great memories you have of her, and she will live on in your heart forever. With love, Jennifer C.
