She worked as a sales manager and later began her career in the Dean's Office at Sacred Heart University, where she sent her youngest to school. Christine was a talented artist and a true lover of animals and nature. She enjoyed taking walks every day, reading, bird feeding, and above all, spending time with her family and loved ones and showering them with selfless and endless love. She touched everyone she came across with her supremely gentle, loving, and genuine spirit. She had a heart of true gold and a great sense of humor. Chris' family wish to thank the doctors and nurses at St. Vincent's Hospital for their care during this difficult time. A public service will be held at a later date.
