Christa was born in Thomasville, GA, on January 21, 1975 to the late Anderson Sherry Benton and Wanda Gail Reagan Benton. She worked as an office manager for privately owned franchises in the Atlanta area.  She loved spending time with her family and friends but truly enjoyed the company and cuddles of her beloved French bulldog, Chase, who preceded her in death on June 14, 2023. Christa had a heart for animals, especially frenchies. She volunteered at the Georgia English Bulldog Rescue and helped nurture abandoned dogs to assist in finding them forever homes. Christa was strong and independent even until her last days. She will be missed by so many and forever loved. She is survived by her mother, Wanda Gail Reagan Benton of Thomasville, GA; sister, Lisa Lapinski of Bluffton, SC; brother, Doug Cain of Eatonton, GA; nieces, Ashley Lapinski, Meghan Hickey, and Cameryn Lapinski; nephew, Dylan Lapinski; and great nieces and nephews, Willow Lodge, Colton Simonton, Preston Simonton, and Sinnie-Lee Simonton.
