Christine' life began July 7, 1918, in Chicago, Illinois. At six months old her family moved to Michigan settling in Benton Harbor. Christine attended elementary school at Cribbs School then went to Benton Harbor Public schools where she graduated. Christine was a lifelong member of St. Matthew's Ev Lutheran Church where she was active in the Lady's Aid. She also enjoyed volunteering her time as a 4-H Leader for many years, she was a member of Berrien County Farm Bureau Women's Club WSAM, and a member of Cribbs Community Club.
