Kristina was preceded in death by her mother, Onda Santos; brother Michael Santos and sister Onda Ruth Santos. 

She is survived by her father, Jose Santos; her loving husband, Gene Norried; her sons Kristopher Homan (Alicia) of Conway and Bryan Homan-Santos (Jennifer) of Romance; granddaughters Ryleigh Homan, Lainey Homan, Baylee Homan-Santos and Hazel Homan-Santos; her step-son Marlin Noe (Emily) and grandchildren Isabella and Jaxson Noe.
