Christine, along with many other names, babe, mom, Mimi, Aunt, sister-in-law and dear friend, was born on July 29th, 1932, in Ville de Saint Maur, France just outside of Paris.

Quiet and reserve but with a heart of life and love, they shared 57 happy and full-filling years together raising 5 rambunctious girls, loving and supporting all of their endeavors and blessed even more building strong bonds with their sweet and loving grands, great grands and great-great grands! Side by side they owned and operated The Roadrunner Trucking Company until they retired together in 1980, enjoying family, travel and friends!
