Mrs. Cristy Elaine Skipper Emison, age 44 of Alamo, passed away Sunday, September 1, 2019 in Jackson Madison County General Hospital.

She was born July 26, 1975 in Jackson to Gary and Brenda Smith Skipper. Cristy attended Jackson State Community College and later the University of Memphis where she received a Bachelors Degree in Psychology. She worked as a social worker until becoming a full time mom.
