Kristy was born in Prince George but grew up in McBride.  She went to school at Robson Valley Junior Academy (RVJA).  When she was eleven years old, her family moved to Kelowna and she went to finish grade school at Okanagan Adventist Academy.  She married Tedd Warner in 1998 and moved back to McBride.  They were blessed with three children:  Heather, Daniel, and Rochelle.  Their children have grown up in McBridge, having gone to RVJA just like Kristy did. The Warner family is grateful for West Coast Adventist School – Distance Learning because this has made it possible for their family to stay in McBride.
