With heavy hearts and profound sorrow, we announce the passing of Christi Gail Cunniff, a beloved daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, who left this world on April 1, 2026, in her hometown of Longview, Texas. Born on January 22, 1971, Christi was a remarkable woman whose spirit and warmth touched all who had the privilege to know her.

Christi was a true dreamer and traveler, a fighter who faced life head-on with determination and love. Whether crafting beautiful treasures for her grandchildren or sharing spirited conversations and laughter with her mother, Daisy Hall, Christi lived to bring joy and comfort to those around her.

Her presence was magnetic—she was everywhere at once, reveling in rooms filled with laughter and stories that bridged past and present. Celebrate with her was a way of life, and holidays were especially dear to her heart, with Halloween reigning as her favorite. Among her treasured joys was her love for movies—collecting them, watching them, and sharing her favorites—an enduring reflection of her vibrant and loving nature.

Christi was born and died in Longview, Texas, but her legacy stretches far beyond these borders through the lives she touched. She is survived by her devoted mother, Daisy Hall; husband, Russell Cunniff; her children, Greg Haskell and Michelle Hall; and siblings Johnny Hall and Bobbie Hall. Her legacy is further carried on by her cherished grandchildren: Journey Masterson, Allison Haskell, Zoey Haskell, Jethro Haskell, and Marcel Cypert.

She was preceded in death by her father, Monnie Hall; sister, Teresa Hall; and granddaughter, Daisy George—all of whom await her with open arms beyond this life.

A memorial service to honor Christi’s remarkable life will be held on April 8, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at Croley Funeral Home, 401 N Center St, Gladewater, Texas. We invite all who knew her to gather and celebrate the love, light, and laughter she so freely shared.

Christi Gail Cunniff’s journey here may have ended, but her spirit continues to inspire and comfort her family and friends. May her memory forever be a blessing, a source of strength, and a beacon of love.

In honor of Christi, we would like to fill the room with flowers and plants, so if you would like to send an arrangement or plant to the service to help us fill the room for mom, we would love that.
