Christine attended C. Milton Wright High School in Bel Air, MD. She also graduated from grooming school in 2014. Christine was a passionate animal lover, animal rescuer, and dedicated pet groomer. Her compassion and care for animals touched countless lives, both human and furry alike. Christine never met a stranger. Christine would always greet you with a big smile and would always lend an ear to anyone that needed it. Christine was well versed in the bible and could also recite a fitting bible verse on demand, completing the issue or topic at hand. She also taught on occasion bible study to the day care children at church. She truly possessed a heart of gold and one of the kindest people you could ever meet.

Christine was happiest when she was loving, walking or cuddling with her two dogs, Bella and Biggie. Christine also enjoyed horseback riding with her horse, Kayla. Her other hobbies included gardening and planting. She gave a whole new meaning to having a “green thumb”.

Christine will be dearly missed and loved by all that had the privilege to know her or even briefly crossed paths with her.
