Besides being a mother, wife, grandmother, sister and daughter, Marianne enjoys reading, music and art, and she loves animals. She also enjoys spending time with her family.

Kristie is a natural born humanitarian, beginning as a child defending other kids from the bullies on the playground. As a single mother of four she first graduated with a Secretarial Science II and Paralegal degree, quickly following up with a degree in nursing.

She worked many years as a nurse in obstetrics, specializing in neonatal care, and serving as a member on the neonatal trauma team. She switched gears and for the remaining years of her nursing profession she worked in long term care with comatose ventilator patients while attending college once again for a Criminal Justice and Pyschology degree.

Following a debilitating spinal injury, she left college and went to work as a 911 dispatcher, then being promoted to 911 Director for a year before resigning. She began full time work for Better A Millstone, Inc. (BAM), as an Executive Director. BAM, founded by Mike Echols -author of 'My Name Is Steven", worked closely with the Federal Bureau and Missing Childrens to locate missing children abducted by sexual predators. She served several years as a director, a online child decoy and the organizations photo analysist expert, helping to solve cases of missing children and bringing child predators to justice. She gained her experience in many areas of web work, tracking and tracing, operating remote consoles, mastering many web programs, creating graphics and writing html while serving for the organization.

When her close friend and confidant, Mike Echols, passed away from a unexpected heart condition, she resigned from BAM, and began ministering to hurting people. She went on to create CPR Ministries which has been actively operating for the past seven to eight years. She recently co-founded the Wayne Foundation Infantcide Prevention Organization, once again entering back into the fight for abused children. Kristie and Peggy Florence were long lost childhood friends, reuniting again when reintroduced by their co-friend, Ra'Vae Edwards. Although already involved heavily with her two other organizations, she answered the call to volunteer as Missouri Missing webmaster and board member. She feels she needs to give her son, Corey, credit. Having become the web designer/master for many childrens organizations such as KidsWish and Make a Wish at the young age of 13, he was a great tutor and motivator for Kristie to learn html and graphic design. Kristie has created all the graphics and webpages for Missouri Missing and keeps us up and running.
