Christine Kichline, 53, of Nazareth, passed away peacefully while surrounded by her loving family on Monday, June 9, 2025, at Gracedale Nursing Home in Upper Nazareth Township.

Born in Flemington, New Jersey, she was a daughter of Lynn D. (Dunfee) Castner of Bethlehem Township, and the late Arthur R. Castner.
