While attending Hominy High School, Christine fed her joy of fashion by working at Ms. Gravit’s Retail Shop in Hominy. Christine was the Hominy Buck Queen in 1952.

After High School, she worked at Hominy Hospital as a Nurses Aid. Christine fostered her desire to care for others by working as a Nurses Aid at Hominy Hospital. She applied those skills in caring for her grandma Elda Cecelia West.

Christine always stayed in contact and supported the Friends Church in Hominy. She was a member and attended various local churches of her residence.

Christine enjoyed various interests including, but not limited to: spending time with her children and grandchildren, fashion, sewing for her children, music and movies (Elvis and John Wayne), buttered popcorn (with extra butter!), she was definitely a foodie, banana popsicles, working in the yard, traveling to Hawaii (Book’em, Danno!), studying the bible, listening to biblical prophecy (e.g., George Noory and Art Bell).

Special thanks to her daughter Rhonda, son-in-law Mike, grandchildren Zachary, Grant, and Grace; and, to Arbor Terrace Crabapple and Kindred Hospice who provided excellent, loving care for Christine.
