Christine Alberti Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Beloved mother of Angela Niemi and Ryan Niemi. Adored by her grandchildren Alyssa Niemi, Abigail Krueger, Gunner Niemi, and Annabelle Jenrich. Devoted sister to Deborah (Tom) Minger and Darcel (Rick) Ehley. Godmother to Jason Smith. Honorary second Mom and Grandma to Jennifer Penoske, Brooke and Brittany Penoske. Dear Aunt, Cousin, and friend to many.
Reunited in death with her parents Donald Smith and Marcia Kazmierski, her husband Steven Alberti, her son David (DJ) Niemi, her sister Lisa Phillips, and her brother Scott Smith.
Chris was the lifeline of her family. She was everyone's "go to" person, everyone's rock, the very core being that held the many facets of her family together. She was deeply loved by her family, with her kind, empathetic, selfless nature evident in everything she said to and did for them, especially her grandchildren.
She had a charming, witty, positive demeanor and always made everyone smile and laugh.
Chris loved nature and spent many joyful hours watching and listening to "da birds." She enjoyed spending summers up at the cottage with her family. Chris equally enjoyed her quiet time at home, snuggling her dog, Ollie, while watching Survivor and crime shows she playfully referred to as "her kilt 'em shows."
Chris worked at the Clement J. Zablocki VA Medical Center for 24 years before retiring in May of 2022. She held numerous positions during her career, the most recent being the My HealtheVet Coordinator. She greatly enjoyed helping Veterans. She was very well-known, respected, loved, and considered a friend by her many colleagues.
The love and light Chris brought to our lives will be forever cherished and missed by everyone she knew.

My deepest condolences to all who are mourning the loss of Christine. I never "met" her; however, we were colleagues at the VA as My HealtheVet Coordinators. I work in New England. Her passion for her work was infectious. She demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and embodied kindness and compassion no matter who she was helping. I missed her when she left her position and I miss her now.
