Peacefully passed away on Saturday, September 5, 2026.
Born on October 19, 1962, Chris was the daughter of James and Marlene Kilper, and grew up in St. Louis, Missouri.
Chris is survived by her beloved husband, Dwayne, her loving children, Tim Rall and Shannon (nee Rall) Alkhalaf; and her grandchildren: Emma Rall, and Claire, Jill, and Teddy Alkhalaf.
Chris was known for being kind, generous, patient, and having the ability to talk to anyone. She loved the outdoors, gardening, walking her dogs, watching sports, and being with her family.
Services: Mass, followed by a Celebration of Life, will be held on Friday, October 16, 2026 at 10:30 AM at St. Simon the Apostle Church (11011 Mueller Rd. St. Louis, MO 63123). In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions to the Alzheimer’s Association are greatly appreciated.
What a wonderful lady! She would do anything to help anyone or any animal. I have the fondest memories of Chris! Very sad to hear of her passing, although it is not easy for friends and family to see someone leave this earth, she is at peace now.
Dwayne, Shannon and TJ, you three and all of your family have my deepest sympathy. Much love for you all!

Chris was always a bright light, she shared her smile and energy with everyone she met. She was a wonderful mom and will always be remembered as very special.
I’m glad she is finally at peace. Please know our prayers are with each of you.

Mrs. Rall was like the second mom to me growing up. She was a beautiful soul and she will be dearly missed.
Dwayne and family,
I completely understand your grief and your loss! Unfortunately, with Chris it was what they call a long goodbye! What a terrible experience to have to go through Dwayne! I don’t believe that anyone can understand the loss of a spouse unless they have lived through it! I am here for you, my friend if you need anything and I mean that! We have known each other since we were a kids being down at the lake of the Ozarks and riding our motorcycles! Those were such fun times and it only seems like yesterday! You are in my thoughts and prayers, my friend! God love you and your family!
Dwayne – Dave and I are so very sorry to hear about Chris. I know you lost her twice with the diagnosis she had, and there are no words we can say to comfort you; only that God will continue to give you comfort and strength. I lost my mom to leukemia just 2 days after you lost Chris, so we are all walking the same grief path right now. Prayers to you and the kids and grandkids.
