Christine McDonald Obituary

Christine McDonald (Tchorz), 75, of Ormond Beach, Florida, passed away peacefully on March 26, 2026, surrounded by her husband and children.

Christine was born on May 9, 1950, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, to the late William and Theresa Tchorz. She treasured time spent with her family and held those she loved close to her heart.

She is survived by her husband of 45 years, Matthew J. McDonald; her children, Melissa Ryan (Bill) of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, Keith Nogueira of North Adams, Massachusetts, and Kayla Bissonnette (Jake) of Palm Coast, Florida; her brother, William Tchorz (Connie) of Pittsfield, Massachusetts; her cherished grandchildren, Connor, Kaitlyn, Brayden, Bransen, and Benjamin; her great-grandchild, Journy; and her loyal dog, Tessa.

Christine found happiness in life's quiet moments. She enjoyed reading, working on puzzles, and especially looked forward to her weekly trips to City Thrift-something that brought her both joy and routine.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date in Pittsfield, MA.
