Christine grew up in Pennsauken, NJ and attended Pennsauken High School, where she met some of her closest and loyal friends that she still has today. After graduating high school, Christine pursued a career in nursing. She attended Helene Fuld School of Nursing, Widener University for her BSN, and Drexel University for her MSN. With over 30 years of nursing experience, she was loved and admired by all. She most recently worked as a Transplant Coordinator for Temple University Hospital. Christine also spent many years as a Clinical Nurse Instructor. She was very passionate about teaching and touched the lives of many nursing students over the years.
Her favorite and most important role she served in life was that of mother to Julia and Ethan. She was the most loving and supportive mom, making sure her children were happy and safe was what was most important to her.
To know Christine, was to love her- she touched the lives of so many with her kind spirit. She will forever be a light in this world.
We trust that God has called her and wrapped his arms around her.
