Christina Hill

Christina Salinas Hill went home to Jesus on October 11th 2022 at the age of 64. She touched many lives, and loved her Husband and Children deeply. Those who knew her knew her as a jack of all trades and could do anything she put her mind to. Christina had a very strong will and a fighting spirit full of strength. She lead by example, showed & encouraged people they could do anything they dreamed of doing. She was apart of starting Salinas & Sons Recycling, later turning into Pacific Coast Recycling, with her beloved father and brothers. Those who were close to her knew her as the eldest son of Mike. She left her career at IBM to help the family business in time of need and became a truck driver in her flaming Peterbilt. In her off time she loved riding her Harley in a convoy of family to destinations all over the U.S. She loved to Garden, DIY anything that requiring power tools, and teach her children and grandchildren her vast knowledge of many hands on subjects. She will live on in each one of us and come out everyday when we use the knowledge she taught us. Each day she spent making sure her family knew how much she loved them all. She was always there for anyone in time of need despite time of day or night. Loving, caring, stubborn, and fire cracker were some words used to describe her personality. She will be missed by many.
