Christina Champlin Obituary
Christina Marie Champlin
March 6, 1981 - December 19, 2017
Christina Marie Champlin passed away on December 19th, 2017 surrounded by her loved ones.
Christina was born March 6th, 1981 at home in Bakersfield, California to Gary and Beverly Champlin. She attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help School and graduated North High School in 1999.
Christina was preceded in death by her parents Gary and Beverly Champlin, grandparents Paul and Patricia Eagleson, Merlin and Doris Champlin.
Christina is survived by her first husband, Scott Tillery, and their son, Alexander Paul. She is also survived by her second husband, Steve Davis and their daughter, Ella Marie. Christina is survived by her siblings Caroline Kennedy and Gary Champlin, Jr.; brother and sister in law John Kennedy and Rebecca Champlin; nieces and nephews Cameron, Tyler, Madison, Luke, Charlotte, Grace and Cash; great nieces and nephew Keyrah, Lylah, Trystyn and Johnathon; aunts and uncles Lynn Ward, Brooke Trybul, Barbara Nickell, Mary Lewis, John Eagleson, Joe Eagleson and Shirley Champlin; numerous cousins and dear friends.
Christina loved the beach, and grew up spending summers in Carpinteria Beach. She lived and spent time in San Diego and Huntington Beach later in life. She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends. Christina loved fashion, shopping, music and reading and could never be without her Starbucks. She was very strong, spirited, protective of those she loved, and fearless to no end. She battled everything head on and nothing stopped her.
Her family finds comfort knowing that she no longer has to face the battles that life presented to her and she can finally be at peace. She was loved by so many and will be missed dearly.
Private family service to be held at a later date.

She lit up a room as soon as she walked in. She was always so poised and classy... I called her my Jackie O. She helped mold my heart into what it is today and for that I am truly blessed. Till we meet again Christina... I know you and K are in heaven watching down on me.

It's been so long since I saw this pretty face. I can still picture her at Ella's baby shower...cute as can be even though she was 8 months pregnant. I think it was her sister that said only Christine could go shopping at Forever 21 for maternity clothes. I think she also had about a million hair styles which always looked perfect. She was also always so feisty but full of love. That's how I will keep her in my memories. May God comfort the family in this time.

May the God of all comfort strengthen the family during this time of deep sorrow; those who pass on, God keep in his memory because they are precious in his eyes. Sincerest condolences. Psalms 116:15
