Christina worked hard all her life. She worked as a peacekeeper for her community until the day she fell sick. She was a role model for her family. Christina had an outgoing personality and a heart of gold. She always volunteered in her community. Her work history included being a childcare worker at Marieval/Cowessess Community Education Centre and Kahkewistahaw Fire Department and Construction. She graduated at the age of 60 with her ABE 12. She enjoyed supporting her grandchildren in their sports, powwow and education. She was family oriented and was a positive person with a caring heart. She was an awesome kokum, mother, sister, friend and aunt. Christina wanted to join the powwow circle as a jingle dress dancer because she survived cancer previously. She loved to laugh.
