Christine Drew Obituary
BOXFORD - Christine Anne Drew, 56, of Boxford, Massachusetts, passed away peacefully at home on October 4, 2025, surrounded by her family, after a courageous battle with cancer.
Born on February 11, 1969, in Morristown, New Jersey, Christine was the daughter of the late Robert Cadley and Ruth DelliSanti. She grew up in Randolph, New Jersey, and graduated from Randolph High School before earning her Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from High Point College in 1991.
Christine's greatest joy was her family. She shared 30 wonderful years of marriage with her devoted husband Michael Anthony Drew, and together they raised two children, Campbell Robert Drew (23) and Cathryn Ruth Drew (21), who were the center of her world. She is also survived by her brother Todd Cadley and his wife Samantha Cadley. Christine's life was enriched by a wonderfully blended family. Her stepfather Lawrence "Larry" DelliSanti was like a second father, and Bob and Larry shared a rare friendship that brought their families together in the best possible way. Christine was also blessed to have two loving grandmother figures in her children's lives, Beverly DelliSanti and Gail Cadley, whose love and presence meant so much to the family.
A proven leader in the cybersecurity industry, Christine built an accomplished career over more than 25 years in sales leadership. She most recently served as Regional Vice President of Strategic Sales East at Delinea and held prior leadership roles with companies including Genuity, Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC), RSA Security, Symantec, and others. Known for her sharp business insight and unwavering integrity, Christine was deeply committed to mentoring and advancing women in their careers. She was fiercely loyal and supportive of the teams she led, inspiring colleagues across the industry.
Christine lived life fully. She loved traveling especially to Hawaii, shopping, Pilates, and daily exercise, and was an enthusiastic fan of all things Bravo. She was also a beloved and admired cheerleading coach during her children's elementary school years, creating joyful memories for her teams and their families. Christine brought energy, style, and fun into every room she entered.
ARRANGEMENTS: We are planning two opportunities to celebrate Christine's life: a Memorial Mass on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at 10 a.m. at St. Vincent's Martyr Catholic Church in Madison, New Jersey, followed by interment at St. Vincent's Cemetery. A repass will follow the service (location to be announced).
A second gathering, a Celebration of Life in Boston, Massachusetts, will take place in early November. Christine wanted this gathering to be upbeat and joyful, a chance for friends and loved ones to share memories and celebrate her life with laughter and love. (Details to follow.)
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, where Christine received amazing care and support and felt truly blessed to be in such capable, caring hands. Donations can be made online at danafarber.jimmyfund.org/
