Christina was born in Vancouver, BC on September 23, 1925, to parents Samual and Christina. She worked as a telephone operator before marrying the love of her life, Ted, in 1949. Christina and Ted moved their family to Port Alberni in 1962, where she worked in the family owned jewelry store until it closed in 1983. Christina then worked in the family owned Smith’s General Store at the Quay until 1987. She was also very involved in the community and was a lifetime member of the West Coast General Hospital Auxiliary. Mom was a loving and devoted mother to her five children and will be dearly missed by all.

Thank you to the staff at Echo Village for their kind and loving care they provided Christina.
