Christina was a vibrant individual who lit up every room she entered. A gentle woman with an indominable spirit, determined throughout her life to attain her goals. As a graduate of Memorial University, she worked hard to obtain her education while raising a young family alongside her dedicated husband of 53 years, Gerald. She was deeply devoted to both her family and her faith, and her life was guided by her strong values, values which will live on through her children.
After a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s, Christina Mary will finally enjoy the eternal rest she so deserves.

Rest In Peace Mom,
Love Always,
Tony, Terry, Juanita, Gerry & Trevor
