Chris grew up on East Baldwin Street in Hackettstown, NJ . She was a 1976 graduate of Hackettstown High School where she was captain of the Twirling Squad.  She began her post high school education at Centenary College in Hackettstown eventually completing her Law Degree at California Western Law School in San Diego, CA.  She immediately opened her own Law Firm in Arizona and later became a State’s Attorney in Florida.  Most recently she owned a law firm in Blairsville, Georgia where she resided.

She is survived by her husband Michael Anzalone of Blairsville, her sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Paul Greszczak of Hackettstown, NJ, and their family Teri (Matt) of Virginia and Lori (Dan) of California.  She is also survived by her brother and sister-in-law James and Diane Manno of Hackettstown, NJ and their family John, (Amy) McConnell, Dawn, (Mike) Simonetta, Bethany Manno, Diane Manno, and great nieces and nephews, JB, Moria, Michael, Jared, Ben, Ty and  Madison.  Her brother, Michael Manno preceded her in death (2018).

Chris left numerous friends in Hackettstown, Florida and Arizona.  The family wishes to thank all of Chris’ friends for their kindness, support and prayers during this time especially her longtime friend Jodie Dees who has been there through it all. Chris was a member of Fellowship of the Hills Church, Blairsville.  She was strong in her faith and believed her life was in God’s hands.   Not a day went by that she didn’t thank God for all things, big and small.  This was evident in her passion for helping people in any way possible through her law firm and in life.
