Cristina was born Dec. 6, 1980 in Wilmington, Del., the daughter of Foster "Sandy" Rawley of Smyrna and Ruby Keeler Schaeffer of Smyrna and Lewes. Cristina's proudest accomplishment was obtaining her Masters Degree in Social Work. She was passionate about her career as a Social Worker at the Delaware Hospital for the Chronically Ill in Smyrna, where she loved, and was loved by, her patients and co-workers. Crissy had the greatest sense of humor and she loved nothing more than a good prank. Cristina lived life to the fullest. She was adventurous and recently fulfilled her dream of skydiving. She devoted her life to helping people and bringing joy and happiness to all. She had an infectious laugh and radiant smile that reflected her inner beauty as well as her outer beauty. Crissy D was the brightest light in our lives and will be forever missed. She was preceded in death by her grandmother, Ruby Keeler. In addition to her parents, she is survived by her best friend and grandfather, William Robert "Bob" Keeler of Smyrna; her second dad, Mark Schaeffer of Smyrna and Lewes; her step-mother, Shirley Rawley of Smyrna; her grandmother, Ruth Rawley of Middletown, Del.; two sisters, Melanie Ballard and her husband, Dennis of Smyrna and Candace Simonini and her husband, Lou of Smyrna; two brothers, Mark Gerard Schaeffer of Dewey Beach, Del. and Clay Schaeffer of Smyrna; two step-sisters, Lauren Boyer and her husband Glen of Millsboro, Del. and Kristin Niebergall of South Lake Tahoe, Calif.; her nieces and nephews, who were the lights of her life, Zoë, Sean, Katie, Jack, Mason, Natalie, Faith, Alyssa and Alexis; many aunts, uncles and cousins; and Ralph, her Chihuahua. A visitation for family and friends will be held on Saturday, June 7, 2014 at 12:00 noon in the Faries Funeral Chapel, located at 29 South Main St., Smyrna DE.
