Christine Buckles Obituary

Christine A. (Miller) Buckles, 72, of Emmaus, passed away peacefully on January 19, 2024. Born on May 21, 1951, in Pottsville, she was the beloved daughter of the late Jack and Lemos (Thompson) Miller. A proud graduate of Central Catholic High School in 1970 and the Allentown Business School, Christine dedicated her life to caring for others as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Her compassionate work at Good Shepherd, Phoebe Allentown, and various healthcare facilities touched the hearts and lives of many within the community. Christine's greatest joy came from spending time with her family and loved ones. Christine's memory will be cherished and carried on by her daughters, Shannon Buckles and Courtney Waricher; 5 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren; her siblings, Deborah Miller, Marilyn Cummins, Jack Miller, and Robin Richardson; her former spouse, James T. Buckles Jr; and dear friends, Terri Kreshock, and Richard Schlicher. She was predeceased by her sister Stephanie Roth. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the Lehigh Valley Hospital Cancer Dept. and Hospice for their exceptional support and care during Christine's brave battle.

Services will be private at the convenience of the family.

Christine will be greatly missed by our church family. Many of us ladies have memories of visiting her in her apartment when she was unable to make it out to church services. Christine loved children, and hugs, and Christmas, and snow! How fitting that God sent us some snow the day that He welcomed Christine into His loving arms... She was very content to trust the Lord and not complain, even when she was bearing much pain and physical limitations. Those who visited Chris always came away blessed and encouraged by time spent with this sweet, gracious, kind, and caring friend! Christine knew God in a personal way, and lived the truth of her favorite hymn, "It is Well with My Soul!" We are praying for you, Shannon and Courtney, as you grieve the loss of your dear Mom. With love, Donna

I loved getting to know Christine during the few times I had the privilege to visit her through our church´s Tabitha Care ministry. She was always asking about my family and how we were doing. She had so much joy in the Lord, even in the midst of her pain & discomfort. I am thankful for her and will miss her greatly. Condolences to you all.
