Obituary

Christi Holt Bleile, beloved wife, daughter, and sister, joined her Heavenly Father on July 9, 2009, after a heroic, hard-fought battle with leukemia. She was surrounded by her loving family. She was a faithful servant and devoted disciple of her lord Jesus Christ, and she touched many people with her selfless devotion to her family and friends.
Christi was born in Abilene, Texas, on March 8, 1963, to Layton and Melba Holt. She attended Abilene schools until the family moved to De Soto, where she graduated from De Soto High School in 1981.
Christi married the love of her life, Rick Bleile, on October 10, 1987, and the family made their home in Midlothian, Texas. She was a stay-at-home mommy to her precious daughters, Lisle, age 17, and Julia, age 10. In addition to her husband and daughters, Christi will be deeply missed by her parents, Layton and Melba Holt of Lake Cedar Creek; sister Marcia Pair and husband Morris of Clyde, Texas; sister Marianna Fielder and husband Eugene of Oklahoma City; brother Gary Holt and wife Penny of Plano, Texas; seven nieces and nephews; and many dear aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A celebration of Christi’s life will be held on Saturday, July 11, at 2:00 P.M. at The Oaks Fellowship in Red Oak, Texas, 777 South Interstate 35E, Red Oak, Texas. Click here for a map.
