Cristy Anne Foley

February 7, 1945 — July 18, 2023

Cristy Anne Foley, Age 78, was born in Evanston Illinois on February 7, 1945, to Carrol “Charles” Streff and Bette Easterday. Cristy spent most of her life in Crowley, Tx. In November of 2022, she moved to Elgin to be closer to her grandchildren and only child, Melissa Foley Rydell. On July 18, 2023, Cristy passed away with her daughter and son-in-law at her side.

One of Cristy’s many accomplishments was being one of the founders of the Crowley Public Library.  At first, they were given the old jail that was attached to a portable building, but after several years were finally able to build a new library from the ground up. There is a special plaque that hangs on the wall dedicated to her and the other founding members of the library.

Cristy is survived by her daughter, Melissa, and son-in-law Dwayne Rydell. Together they have three children: Zack and wife Amanda, Jake and long-time girlfriend Brandi, and Lauren Rydell, brother James “Jimmy” Streff and long-term companion Kathy O’Byrne of Illinois, sisters, Lynda Smith of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Sandy Beesley of Edmond, Oklahoma. She is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Cristy is preceded in death by the love of her life Larry Foley.

A Celebration of Life for Cristy will be held 11:00 AM, Monday, August 7, 2023, at the First Baptist Church in Crowley, Tx (400 S Eagle Dr).

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in honor of Cristy to the Crowley Public Library.
