Meet The Team

Christie started Solterra Hospice to build a locally owned and operated hospice program that provides exceptional care to our entire staff and every individual that we serve. Her vision of hospice care is providing a space where team members have the time and ability to give the amazing care that they are inspired and called to provide. 

She is an extremely proud mom to Ensley, and very proud wife to John. When she is able to take time away, she loves to travel and find really great food to eat.

Bonnie has been a nurse since 2006, working in a wide variety of roles and settings, but always returning to her calling in end-of-life care.  Bonnie and her husband are empty nesters now since their son and daughter are living on their own.  Any down time is filled with relaxing with their two Scottish terriers, spending time with friends and Bonnie doing genealogy research.  Bonnie is her family’s  genealogist, so don’t start talking about genealogy unless you have enough time to sit and talk for awhile!

Bonnie is excited to be part of the Solterra family, it is a wonderful and caring team!
