Christine Anne Liaga “Theng” Moore will be remembered as being highly organized, practical and realistic. She was a person who always carried a strong sense of duty with her throughout her life and clearly communicated to those around her just who she was and what she was all about.

Christine was born on March 21, 1983 at Poblacion Norte in Rizal, Nueva Ecija, Philippines to Ernesto and Rosario Liaga. She was raised with an older brother, Ryan. As a young girl, Christine enjoyed being part of teams, and organizations and groups of other kids who shared similar interests. In her spare time she enjoyed playing outdoors. In school, Christine was as close to being a model student as one could possibly imagine. A logical and focused thinker, Christine was always good at following directions and meeting her schedules, whether they were set by her teachers or were self-imposed. Christine’s personal motto could well have been, “Do it right the first time.” She was known for receiving high honors throughout school.

Christine was sociable and approachable. Because she was always so straightforward in how she approached relationships, friends and family knew that what they saw was always what they got.

She wasn’t afraid to confront her friends and, when necessary, she challenged them to stick to the task at hand. Those close to Christine came to expect her high standards of performance. Throughout her life she became friends with so many people, almost too many to mention!

An objective and conscientious individual, Christine reveled in the security of her family. On June 18, 2013 Christine exchanged wedding vows with Eric Gutierrez at the Stained Glass Chapel of Las Vegas, Nevada. One of Christine’s most endearing qualities was her uncanny ability to remember important dates and anniversaries, and her unending enthusiasm for organizing a celebration for her family and friends. Christine was ever watchful of her son, Jan. She worried about him and was deeply concerned for his development as he grew up.

Being a hard worker who praised efficiency, Christine was always striving to make improvements where they were necessary. She was able to analyze situations and problems, keeping everything and everyone on track. She was employed for 13 years as a Healthcare Professional and was also an entrepreneur. Christine was awarded in Service Excellence at Summerlin Hospital. She was a team player who certainly lived out the motto of “give me a job, and I will get it done.”

Christine approached her leisure time in the same manner that she approached her life. A person who enjoyed being neat and orderly and one who understood the nature of things, she appreciated the hours she was able to devote to her various hobbies.

Being generous with her time and energy, Christine liked to belong to a variety of groups and organizations. She was a vocal leader who enjoyed being a part of things. Her desire to uphold traditions and her ability to take charge of any type of project made her a tremendous asset. For many years, Christine was an active member of the Las Vegas Motorcycle Group.

Faith was important to Christine. She held high moral standards and was worried about the moral decay she saw around her. For that reason she held deep spiritual beliefs that she was willing to share. She was a member of the Catholic community for 37 years.

When it came time to travel or take a vacation, Christine used her scheduling expertise to make sure everyone and everything was ready to go. That also meant that she made certain no single person was overworked in putting the trip together. Christine had a knack for making sure that everyone who was involved had their specific tasks and that those tasks were completed. Favorite vacations included anything outdoors by the water and Hawaii.

Christine was a lover of animals and cherished her pets. One of Christine’s favorites was Capri, a Maltese, Suzie, a Chihuahua mix, and Blue, a Blue-nosed Pitbull. They were best friends for Capri and Suzie for nine years, and Blue for a year.
