About this Event
You are warmly invited to a Celebration of Life honoring Christina L. McCracken-Nussle, J.D.
Christina fought the good fight, finished her race, and kept the faith for 59 years! After 2.5 years of walking through a severe medical trial with remarkable courage, faith, and care for others, she entered heaven on October 23, 2026.
This public Celebration of Life will be a joyful, faith-filled gathering to remember her life, her ministry, and the Divine Restoration she brought to so many.
The day will include two parts:
Ceremony
Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at 1030–1130 AM
SMU Perkins Chapel
(The same chapel where Christina and Ron were married)
A wedding-style processional in which family and friends will carry white flowers down the aisle and deliver them forward — a symbolic act of handing Christina back to her true Bridegroom.
Processional begins at 1030, so please be in your seats by 10:15.
There will be music, a few short testimonies, and a message from Reverend Bobby Conner, whom Christina deeply respected and listened to more than any other minister in the world.
Reception
1300–1530 PM
Grand Hall at Texas Discovery Center
A lunch with continuous photo and video presentations of Christina’s life. There will be time for fellowship, stories, and celebration of a life well lived.
As Christina requested, White roses, lilies and hydrengas will be a central visual theme throughout the day.
Please RSVP (up to 2 guests per invitation). Please type in the first names of each guest in the first name field. For example "John & Jane Smith". Attendance at Christina’s Celebration of Life is free. However, due to limited capacity at SMU’s Perkins chapel and the Reception, pls bring your email confirmation QR code.
