January 10, 1959 - April 16, 2018 Kristi Mills Rolison, beloved wife, mother, pastor, sister, and friend, died on Monday, April 16, 2018, at the Kate B. Reynolds Hospice Home in Winston-Salem, N.C. She bravely fought triple negative breast cancer in 2015 and was declared cancer free. The cancer returned in 2017 and did not respond to treatment. Kristi was born on January 10, 1959, in Cliffside, N.C., the second child of John Edward and Barbara Sparks Mills. She grew up in Mt. Airy, graduated Mt. Airy High School in 1977, and High Point College in 1983, with a degree in Gerontology. Kristi's early career was as a Social Worker at the Baptist Retirement Home in Winston-Salem and then with Hospice of Davidson County, Hospice of Forsyth County, as well as Crisis Control Ministries. She answered a call to ordained ministry and in 2000 entered Wake Forest University School of Divinity, earning the Master of Divinity degree in 2003. She served two congregations as pastor: First Presbyterian, Pilot Mountain, N.C., and Westminster Presbyterian Church, Lynchburg, Va. Kristi was a gifted preacher, a strong administrator, a devoted and caring pastor. Kristi leaves behind her husband of 32 years, Phillip Rolison; two sons, Alex, of Greenville, Tenn., and Ben, of High Point, N.C.; father-in-law and mother-in law, Harry and Janet Rolison of Winston-Salem; brother-in-law, Danny Rolison, of Knightdale; sister-in-law, Audrey Weil (Ken) of Darien, Conn.; brother-in-law, Alan York (Becky) of Lewisville; sister, Ellen Mills Bergland (Bob) of Wilson; brother, John Mills, Jr. (Ginny) of Winston-Salem; eight nieces and nephews; and a host of friends and church members who loved and admired her. Kristi was a light to all who knew her and a clear voice for those less fortunate. A Witness to the Resurrection Service in memory of their beloved pastor will be celebrated at Westminster Presbyterian Church, 11th & Floyd Streets, Lynchburg, Va., Sunday, April 29, 2018, at 11 a.m., led by the Reverend George Goodman, the Reverend Doctor Carl Utley, and the Reverend Stephen Earl. Pastor Kristi served Westminster from January 1, through December 31, 2017, taking a leave of absence due to her illness on June 22, 2017. We are thankful for the call that brought Kristi to Westminster even for a short time. A celebration of life was held Saturday, April 21, 2018, at Trinity Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem where she was interred.
