A Celebration of Life Service for Christina Marie Escobar is planned for 2:30 p.m. this coming Saturday (April 22nd) at the Eagles Lodge in Junction City, Kansas.&nbsp; Burial will be at St. Mary's Cemetery.

Christina, 29, of Killeen, Texas passed away on December 29th, 2022 after a long fight with glioblastoma brain cancer. She was born on August 20th, 1993 to Jerry Escobar and Laura Boller Escobar. Growing up in Central Texas, Christina was a firecracker who expressed interest in art, singing, and performing. She graduated from Central Texas College in 2017 with a degree in child development that allowed her to impact children in an effective way. Christina was a devout Catholic and a regular member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Killeen. She was baptized at St. Xavier’s Catholic Church in Junction City, Kansas. 

As a teacher at the Child Development Center at Central Texas College, Christina’s true passions for education were able to shine through. She found joy in working with children and instilling positive values within her students. In Christina’s free time she enjoyed being with her family and staying active. Even after her diagnosis in 2019 she enjoyed long walks with her dog, Oreo. Oreo was rescued after Christina’s brain surgery that removed her first tumor. She always liked to say that she didn’t rescue Oreo, but that they rescued each other. Christina also enjoyed swimming, cooking, taking care of her house plants, and spending time with her loved ones.

 Christina is survived by her mother and father, Laura Boller Escobar and Jerry Escobar, and sister Sara Escobar, as well as numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. She is preceded in death by her grandparents, Betty Jo Boller Budden, Joseph F. Boller, Deloy Budden, and Alice Escobar. Christina passed over into the arms of the Lord surrounded by her family and loyal dog Oreo.
