Christine Maria Gallardo

Christine Maria Gallardo, a beacon of love and joy, passed away at the age of 64 on March 25, 2024, in Corpus Christi, Texas. Born on July 29, 1959, in Huntsville, Alabama, Christine's life was a tapestry of warm memories and enduring relationships. She was a cherished daughter, sister, mother, aunt, and friend who left an indelible mark on the hearts of those she encountered.
Christine is preceded in death by her loving parents, Maria and Agustin Gallardo, and her dear sister, Josephine Hernandez. Her legacy continues through her beloved family, including her siblings Rebecca Gallardo (Audrey), David Gallardo (Josie), Joseph Gallardo, and Agustin Gallardo. She was a devoted mother to her only child, Samantha Gallardo (Crystal), and a doting aunt to her nieces, Michelle Lozano, Elena Lozano Gomez, Terry Hinojosa, Tina Lozano, and Christina Trevino.
Christine's vibrant personality was as striking as her beautiful green eyes. She was a fighter, never allowing her health battles to diminish her kind and caring heart. Her love was a gift she freely gave, touching the lives of everyone she met. Christine, affectionately known as 'Chrissy' to her friends and family, wished to be remembered for her sweetheart smile-a smile that could light up a room and warm the coldest of days.
Her interests were as colorful and varied as her character. Christine found joy in the simple pleasures of life, such as crocheting hats and blankets, a testament to her creative spirit and her love for giving. Her favorite color, teal, reflected her affinity for the water, especially the tranquility of the beach. An avid fan of 80's rock music, Christine's enthusiasm for life was matched by her passion for literature. She was often found with a book in hand, lost in the pages of a captivating story. Her love for the Dallas Cowboys was well-known, and she enjoyed sharing game days with her family and friends.
Those who knew Christine would describe her as loving, kind, and funny. Her laughter was infectious, and her sense of humor brought lightness to even the most challenging moments. Christine's presence was a source of comfort and happiness for many, and her absence will be deeply felt.
As we bid farewell to Christine Maria Gallardo, we celebrate a life lived with purpose and joy. Her spirit will continue to guide and inspire us, and her memory will be cherished forever. May we honor her by living our lives with the same generosity and love that she so effortlessly embodied. Christine's journey on this earth has concluded, but the stories of her kindness, her laughter, and her unwavering love will continue to resonate with all who were fortunate enough to know her.
