A huge Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs fan, you could find Christine in front of the television every Sunday cheering for the Bears and exclaiming “Football, there’s nothing like it!” She followed the Cubs closely and frequently spoke about the 2016 season and how she was one of the first in line on the Cubs World Series Parade route.
Christine was a music lover and favored Styx, Bon Jovi, Neil Diamond, REO Speedwagon and Garth Brooks, even in her final days. We know she is singing and dancing in heaven.
