Christine was an absolute gem of a woman! She marched to the beat of her own drum, she was kind, thoughtful, and hilarious. She was a woman of deep faith, who also balanced her rooted Catholicism with spirituality, acceptance, understanding, common sense, and above all – love. She was a wise woman, a life-long learner, and a voracious reader. She loved her family more than anything and she had the most special place in her heart for her nieces and nephew and grand nieces and nephews. She was the best Aunt ever!

Christine spent most of her life in Cleveland with the exception of a couple of years that she lived in Asheville, NC. She cherished her time in North Carolina and the Asheville community was very dear to her. She would love memorial donations to www.belovedasheville.com for hurricane relief efforts.
