Christy was born April 11, 1958, in Little Rock, AR to Walter Ed and Wanda Sue (Benton) Scales. While working at the Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, she met Robert P. Casillas, and they married in 1991. From there, jobs took them to 7 different states. She was a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, friend throughout her life and enjoyed traveling around the world, cooking, gardening and spending time with her family and friends.

Christy grew up in and was a faithful member of the Church of Christ, and her favorite Bible verse was: "Create in me a clean heart O God ..." Psalm 51 :10. The family extends gratitude to the caring staff of St. Lukes East (and Plaza) Hospitals, St. Luke's Community Hospital, Assisting Hands, Ignite Medical Resort Blue Springs, and KC Hospice House.
