Christina Stallings Obituary
Our beloved mother and mom-mom, Christina Stallings, aged 83, of Belmont, CA passed on to glory at home in San Francisco on March 27th 2013.
She was born on December 22nd, 1929 in Kaduna, Nigeria.
She married Herman D. Stallings, but was widowed after five loving years with him.
In the late 1950's, She worked for BOAC (now British Airways) and was famed as the first black stewardess. She later joined the team of staff who pioneered NBC (Nigerian Broadcasting Corporation). Her true passion was dressmaking and in 1972 she opened Delia's Boutique in Lagos and a second boutique in Mountain View, CA in 1982. She remained in retail in her retired years and owned Calabash Enterprises.
Family and Friends remember her for her big heart, loving kindness, awesome cooking and most of all her infectious laughter.
She is survived by her Children, Tosan Rewane, Omatsola Rewane, Nene Amachree-Piltoff, Douglas Eyimofe Stallings, Delia Eyitemi Stallings and six Grandchildren.
May her God-blessed soul rest in perfect peace and her laughter sound forever!

I closed my eyes and I saw 'Mommy' sitting, one hand neatly placed over the other. Her radiating smile; her eyes filled with the feelings of satisfaction. Your memories truly, live with us...Extension of love to her children and family.
