Christine always had a smile and laugh to share even when we were both out shovelling what seemed like 5 feet of snow. Not a day would go by without seeing Christine lovingly tending to her yard... She will be missed and always remembered...truly one of the greatest ladies I have ever known...

I probably knew Christine the least of all those whose lives she has touched. At EPCOR Water, I was privileged to work with her just a few times for a few hours each time. In that brief contact I experienced a diligent and professional person dedicated to the health and safety of her fellow workers. My deepest sympathy at this sad time of loss. Even in my brief encounter, I was enriched. A fine human being has passed through this world. I am glad our paths crossed. Keep your memories well, hold them dear, share them often and with pride.

Jesse and Chelsey,so sorry for your loss. You have a lot to be proud of. Your mom was a very special lady in the neighbourhood,keeping us all on our toes to keep up with our yards. She was a very kind and giving lady and is an inspiration to all that knew her, and ever so proud of you guys and the grand babies. It was a great pleasure knowing her both as a neighbour and a dear friend. Hang on to your wonderful memories and cherish them. RIP Christine, love you.

In the short time Christine was at the water treatment plants she gained a lot of respect for her work ethic, and made many friends. She will be missed.
