Christine was the youngest of seven brothers and one sister. She was raised to know, love and serve the Lord Jesus. She met her love and life partner at one of the camp meetings her family attended. She came from a family of musicians, and played the accordion and piano with pride. This is passed on to her great grandchildren.

 

Christine took on many jobs during and as soon as she was done raising her children. She was a bus driver, medical transportation driver, janitor, court support worker, guard/security worker in Loon Lake, chambermaid, cook/caterer, certified home care worker, and a foster parent.

 

Christine took great concern over all her children, making sure they were fed and were comfortable when we made our visits to her home. Her health declined after the loss of her husband, Harry and foster son, Vincent, Deborah, her youngest daughter took care of her during that time for over 8 years, mom was very close to her grandson Darius Francois she called her “boss man”, they were inseparable. Due to increased medical needs mom spent her last four months at Jubilee Home in Lloydminster.
