Christine was born in Alameda, CA in 1947. She lived most of her life in the Salinas area.

She then became a resident of Watsonville for over 20 years. With the birth of her son Matt, she became Super Mom, followed by a career in accounting. She held positions at Wells Fargo Bank, Marty Franich Auto Dealership, and recently retired from Service Station Computer Systems and Lugo's Towing after 15 years.

Christine enjoyed spending time with family and friends at various venues in northern California. In her younger years she loved spending time at her grandmother's cabin in the Santa Cruz Mountains, as well as hanging out at the local pool at Titus Park in San Benancio Canyon. She also enjoyed the annual snow trip to Yosemite. In recent years, she enjoyed watching her granddaughter Gwenyth play lacrosse on a sunny day.

A memorial will be held at a later date due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In lieu of flowers, it is suggested that a donation be made to the Salinas Valley Memorial Hospital Foundation in her name.
