Kristi Marie Couvillon-Wise
September 20, 1974 – October 1, 2010
Austin, Texas
Kristi Marie Couvillon-Wise was born on September 20, 1974 and went to be with Our Lord after a long battle with postpartum depression. She is survived by her loving husband John Wise, her beautiful daughter Vivienne Grace Wise, her mother and stepfather Donna & Paul Kreuzer, her father Edward Couvillon, in addtion to numerous other family members and friends.
Kristi was born in Texas City, TX and lived a good portion of her early life in Missouri City, TX. She received her B.A. from Trinity University in San Antonio, TX, her Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas, and passed the State Bar of Texas after having graduated from the University of Texas Law School in 2005. She was a strong advocate for social justice helping win a case at the Supreme Court while working with the Texas Defender Service. Her awards and accomplishments are voluminous and speak volumes of her dedication to the service of others.
Her kindess and generosity towards others was extended to her family, friends, and pets (all of whom were rescued). She may have described herself best as – “daydreamer turned social worker turned lawyer. loves music, dancing, and running. adores pit bulls and ornery cats. obsessed with midnight blue bubble tea. loves the way mountain laurels smell in spring when the wind blows through them.” Her vivacious smile and laughter will be missed by all.
Words cannot describe the severity of the loss to her family and friends, but also to the countless number of people whose lives she impacted or would have impacted.
