Christi was born September 4, 1972 in Enid to Mike and Debi (King) Chaney, and went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, December 22, 2020 in Enid. Christi graduated from Garber High School in 1990. She attended NOC Tonkawa for one year before receiving her Associate’s Degree as a paralegal from Rose State College. On October 22, 1994 Christi married her high school sweetheart, Travis Schovanec, in the Garber Immanuel Lutheran Church, where she was a lifetime member. After working as a paralegal for six years, she started her dream job as a stay-at-home mom to her three amazing children who she was extremely proud of. She was an avid gardener, loved spending time with her family, and was always in attendance at her kids’ activities, as their biggest cheerleader. She was a dedicated farm wife and mother¬— her faith and family were number one. Christi battled AML for over four years. Her doctors referred to her as their “special patient” because she would overcome anything that came her way. AML did not defeat her; Christ gave her the ultimate victory. Christi will always be remembered by her family and friends as the strongest woman they have ever known. Christi is survived by her husband Travis; three children Braden Schovanec of Bartlesville, Halie Schovanec and Carson Schovanec both of Garber; her father Mike Chaney of Garber; brother Scott Chaney and wife Jennifer of Medford; several nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. She is preceded in death by her mother Debi Chaney, grandparents, aunt, and uncles.
