She is survived by her husband, Patrick R. Thomson, daughter Paige Bender and son-in-law Reed, and son Wade Martin; grandson, Evan Bender, granddaughter, Mina Martin and grandson, Justin Martin. Also grieving this loss are her sister, Lydia O. Powell and bonus sister, Rachel Goeres; niece, Mykil Hamann, her husband, Justen and daughter Raegan; nephew Jody Powell, his wife Kami, daughter, Savannah and son Vaughn.
Kris spent some growing up years in Jamestown and Salida, Colorado. The Ovitz family moved to Eagle Pass, Texas in 1957 where she attended high school, played in the band and served as drum major.

Kris was an artistic quilt designer and a long time member of the Greater San Antonio Quilt Guild. She leaves behind many beautiful quilts that will comfort family members. Kris will be sorely missed but the memories of her laughter, quirky sense of humor, and a loving, caring heart, will remain with those who called her wife, mom, sister, grandma, aunt, and friend. Her family would like to thank the caregivers of Odyssey Hospice for their compassionate support for those who gathered at Kris's bedside.
