Christine was a beloved wife to Ronnie Nelson of 28 years, a devoted mom to Richard Nelson (who passed in the year of 2020), and her fur babies. She was a source of strength, warmth, and unwavering love for her family. A 1988 graduate of Laurel Hill School, Christine dedicated her life to creating a loving and nurturing home.

There are countless other people who are extended family and friend(s) to Christine. Her presence will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered.
