Christy Ann Matcek McDonough

Christy Ann Matcek-McDonough, 41, passed away on August 30, 2015. Christy is preceded in death by her grandparents, Richard and Evelyn Christ; and John and Breese Matcek. She is survived by her beloved husband, Brett McDonough, parents John and Lynda Christ Matcek, her brother John E. Matcek, along with a host of many loving family members and friends. Christy was an Operations Coordinator at MD Anderson, where she worked for more than 16 years. Christy had an undeniable passion for many things in life ranging from her love of her dogs to her job at MD Anderson. Her job at Anderson was not just a "job", but a passion for a cure for cancer. She always felt that she was part of the team that could make a difference that would benefit others in their recovery. Her primary passion was her dogs, whom she referred to as her "kids'. Shopping was her athletic sport, which was all about getting that "find". She was also meticulous about her appearance - any kind of pampering which might include nails, her eyelashes, which she still lovingly referred to as her Chia pets, and tanning. She was absolutely passionate about her job and helping others. She adored her family and friends and was always happy to meet them for a cocktail and great meal. Christy also had an amazing artistic side to her. Christy so enjoyed creating just about anything that she could bring to life from a crazy vision. Whether it be from party planning, decorating for an event, or just creating something based on a whim from a conversation with a friend. Christy could do just about anything with her magic wand and her tiara that she wore, all while enjoying everything that life offered. In life and even after passing, she remains selfless and giving to those in need. A memorial service celebrating Christy's life will be held at 2:00 p.m., Thursday, September 3, 2015 in the Chapel of Davis-Greenlawn Funeral Home in Rosenberg.
