Christine was a kind hearted and generous woman and would give you the shirt off your back if you needed it. She loved little trinkets, knick knacks, collecting porcelain dolls, jewelry, perfume, and sharing food. She had an infectious laugh and her grandchildren can remember her saying, “Give me some sugar!” (a kiss) in her thick Texan accent as well as eating lemons from the lemon tree in her backyard. She will be missed.

Visitation will be held at Forest Park East Funeral Home in Webster, Texas from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. with service to follow at 2:00 p.m. and interment in Forest Park East Cemetery.
