SAVANNAH, GEORGIA – Christine Reavis Rivenbark, age 84, passed away on Thursday, April 16, 2026. Born in Warren County, NC on September 24, 1941, she was the daughter of the late Woodrow Wilson Reavis and Virgina Alice Reavis. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Jimmy A. Rivenbark.

Christine passed away leaving behind a legacy of faith, dedication, and compassion. She was a longtime member of First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, faithfully attending until her health declined.

She dedicated 40 years to CSX, where she took great pride in her work and her love of the railroad. In her free time, she enjoyed fishing and caring for animals, especially cats. She lovingly looked after feral cats, ensuring they were fed and spayed or neutered, and even welcomed three raccoons that visited daily alongside her cats.

Above all, Christine deeply loved her family and cherished time spent with them. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit and caring heart and will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Christine is survived by her brother, David Reavis, and wife Gayle; nieces, Rhonda Green, Michelle Reavis; three great nephews, Zachary Green, Logan Green, Hunter Reavis; two great great nephews, Lewis Green, and Jack Green, and one great great niece, Roxanne Reavis.

Guestbook

  1. My husband, Bill, has the best memories from the years that he and his first wife, Helen, were neighbors with Kris and Jimmy. So many funny stories that are cherished still by Bill and his daughters, who thought of Kris and Jimmy as their second parents. May God bless David and Gayle, and all Kris’s extended family and friends as they face the days ahead without Kris here to share in them
