Christine is remembered for her caring and compassion for others, her wonderful sense of humor, according to her son, Aaron, she was a great cook, she loved nostalgia, Christmas and her family. She loved her partner, James Cattledge (Jimmy) who were together for 25 years. Jimmy was with her when she took her last breath.

She was proud of all of her children and she loved to brag about them all the time.
