Christy Yonz Bowlin

Christy Yonz Bowlin passed into eternal rest on July 15, 2021 after a courageous three and a half year battle with breast cancer. Her friends and family rejoice in her passing on the promise that one day they will reunite in heaven by the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. Christy was born in Atlanta, GA. She spent much of her life in Greeneville, TN until she moved to Dandridge, TN in 2007. She is a 1991 graduate of Greeneville High School and a 1994 graduate of East Tennessee State University. Christy is a Christian. She is a member of First Baptist Church of Dandridge and formerly Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Greeneville and Asbury United Methodist Church of Greeneville.

She is a proud ?Army Wife? having served at the side of her husband Brad since their marriage in 1995. Christy?s passion was influencing others through Cheer and Dance.
