Christina Mae Hubbell-Robert, 59, passed away on Aug. 21, 2025 while sleeping peacefully at home in Colwich, Kansas. If you knew Christi, you probably felt your world lose some of its magic. If you didn’t, it’s only because she hadn’t gotten to you yet.
Though she played many different roles: beloved daughter, sister, wife, artist, teacher, hippy and rebel—Christi’s favorite was Mom.
She and Don Robert (the absolute love of her life since eighth grade), raised their seven kids to think bigger, push limits and question everything.
They ignored “typical” parenting methods in favor of those their children would never forget. Like making pancakes in her old prom dresses or attempting to domesticate (and potty train) a free-roaming rabbit. She encouraged their use of silverware to dig out tiny towns in the backyard and believed every surface in the house was a canvas for creativity.
As the kids got older, her need to nurture led her back to her other true passion: teaching. To say she’s a mother/mom/”mome” of seven is grossly misleading, because to Christi, every single student who walked her halls also had a piece of her heart. And she loved them like one of her own.
Christi leaves behind her sister, Terri; her mother, Martina; and her high school sweetheart, Donnie Robert; as well as the seven children (Levi, Jace, Jerimiah, Rayna, Sage, Zane and Timber) she adored and raised from birth; two grandchildren (Nazareth and Tomlin), with one on the way; and the many others lucky enough to be drawn into her orbit.
We take peace and comfort in knowing Christi’s now pain-free in heaven, finally wearing heels again, playing the music a little too loud and making sure we all live our lives to the fullest. Or else.
