An intelligent and courageous woman, Kristi K. Thulin, 60, of Corpus Christi passed away February 13, 2023, surrounded by family at PAM Health Specialty Hospital.
Kristi was born in Oxford, Nebraska on April 9, 1962. The third child of Eldon and Corky (Sellman) Thulin. Kristi was baptized and confirmed at St.
John’s Lutheran Church in Oxford, Nebraska.
A playful person, she enjoyed pranking people and attending Turkey Days. Kristie received her education from Oxford Public Schools, where she excelled in sports. In fact, her basketball team went to state.
After graduation, Kristi moved to Omaha, where she was a court reporter. She continued to be involved with volleyball, and made many lasting friendships that lasted until she passed. She went back to school at the age of 36 to become a physician’s assistant, attending the University of Iowa. Upon graduating, she moved to Texas, where she worked as a PA until she passed away. Her specialty of pain management helped her to bring less pain to her patients. She was loved and appreciated for the excellent care she gave them, and enjoyed her time with her work family. In her free time, Kristie enjoyed bird watching and was a member of the Audubon Outdoor Club.
Those who loved her will fondly remember her asking, “where are we birding this weekend?”
She loved gardening and photography, and enjoyed traveling to take amazing photographs of birds and other wildlife.
One of her favorites was going to Duluth, Minnesota for an owling trip.
A friend to everyone, she liked being with family and her birding buddies. She loved her pets and family, especially her nieces and nephews.
She and her niece Sari were known to spend time together riding in her vehicle with the top down, listening to the Beatles. She also made wonderful memories at Tyler and Jenni’s wedding in Cabo, going to the Niobrara River with her sister Tammy and family. She enjoyed snacking on popcorn Buckys and drinking a cold Dos X.
She liked watching Yellowstone, nature films, and Grey’s Anatomy, and of course always rooted for the Huskers.
