With profound sadness and deep love, we announce the passing of Christa Jane Santos, a devoted mother, cherished wife, loving sister, and treasured friend. Christa passed away on June 21, 2025, at the age of 59, surrounded by the love she so freely gave throughout her life.

Born on December 18, 1965, as Christa Jane Loveless, she brought warmth, creativity, and compassion into every space she entered. Christa was a woman of faith, kindness, and quiet strength, a guiding light to her family and a source of comfort to all who knew her.

Christa's love for music was a defining part of her spirit. Whether she was playing in the church's praise band at Harvard Avenue Christian Church, or filling her home with melodies, music was how she expressed joy, connection, and worship. Her passion didn't stop with instruments and song, she was a true fan at heart, finding magic and meaning in the worlds of Harry Potter, Star Trek, and Doctor Who. Her sense of wonder and imagination made her a kindred spirit to anyone who believed in the extraordinary.

She gave her heart to caring for others. As a daycare provider, Christa nurtured the littlest ones with a mother's care. In the school cafeteria, she brought comfort, conversation, and kindness to students each day. Her love of children was more than a job, it was a calling. She extended that love beyond her own family, caring for many as if they were her own.

Christa's creativity found another outlet in her beautifully crafted dollhouses; each one built with intricate care and a playful spirit. She also found special joy later in life when she reconnected with her brothers, renewing the bonds of family with laughter, memories, and love.

Above all, Christa was a devoted wife to her husband Mark, and a proud and loving mother to her children: Charles, Jonnathan, Clarrisa, Trinity, and Robinton. Her family was the center of her universe, and the love she poured into them will continue to grow and echo through generations.

Christa is survived by her husband Mark Santos; her children Charles, Jonnathan, Clarrisa, Trinity, and Robinton; her extended family; her church family; and a wide circle of friends whose lives were better simply for knowing her.

A celebration of her life will be held at the Cremation Society of Oklahoma on 7/8/2025 at 2:00pm, where we will honor the joy, music, and love she brought into this world.

Christa Jane Santos lived a life filled with grace, creativity, and compassion. Her legacy is one of laughter, love, faith, and song, a life truly well lived and forever cherished.
