CHRISTINE VALDEZ Obituary

CHRISTINE VALDEZ

Sept. 20, 1953 – Aug. 26, 2024

Christine Valdez, 70, passed away at Pioneers Memorial Hospital in Brawley on August 26, 2024, in the early morning surrounded by her loved ones and family.

She was one 1 of 4 children to Felicitas Magallanes Valdez and Arthur Valdez. Born on September 20, 1953, and raised in Calipatria, Christine was known for her curious and adventurous soul from a very young age. At just 17 years old, she moved to Los Angeles with her sister and aunt in which she pursued different kinds of work. She would work for UPS for 30 years and retire shortly afterwards.

She was a loving spouse and a pillar to her family. As part of her hobbies, she enjoyed watching movies, gambling at the casino, and socializing. She brought laughs and wittiness to those who would have the blessing to encounter her. Those close to her would call her Christy. She showed those around her how to take it easy and relax taking life one sip and bite at a time.

We love and miss you more than words can say. We hope heaven treated you well on your first heavenly birthday.

A funeral service will be held on Monday, September 30, 2024, at St. Patrick's Church in Calipatria. Rosary prayer will be at 9 a.m. and Memorial Mass at 10 a.m.
