Christine F. Olguin

She was born on June 12, 1943, at Carlisle Barracks, Carlisle, PA to Michael S. and Nellie Kufrovich, where she was the oldest of four children.

She met the love of her life, Joe M. Olguin, in Kaiserslautern, Germany in 1961. After a short courtship they were married on July 21, 1961. They lived life and loved unconditionally for 53 years until his passing on December 21, 2015.

Christine held several positions while working for the U.S. Government. She retired in 2008 as an environmental government contracting officer for AFCCEE. A career she thoroughly enjoyed.

Her greatest joy was spending time with her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. They were the light of her life. She lived for them.

She had a smile that would light up a room. Her love, selflessness, kindness, compassion and feisty personality will forever be missed. She enjoyed reading a good book, cooking for family gatherings, watching sports, and traveling, especially to the casinos with her brother Vince.

She created a lifetime of memories and traditions for her family that will be cherished forever. She was the truest meaning of a matriarch.

She is preceded in death by her beloved husband, Joe M. Olguin, parents Michael and Nellie Kufrovich, sister-in-law Loretta Jeanie Acosta, mother-in-law Micaela Methola, brother-in-law Frank Olguin, sister-in-law Susan J. Kufrovich, sister-in-law Belinda Barrera, and sister-in-law Josephine Kufrovich.

She is survived by her son Michael (Angela) Olguin, daughter Elizabeth (Asad Murdock) Olguin, son Gregory (Vanessa Johnson) Olguin. Grandchildren; Joshua (Jessica), Gabriella (Tyler), Laurel (Nic), Chelsea, Marissa (Josh), Sierra (Jesse), Colby, Nicholas (Kat), Zachary and Chole, eight great grandchildren, brother Michael Kufrovich, brother Vince (Mary Jo) Kufrovich, brother Stephen Kufrovich, sister-in-law Juanita Olguin, brother-in-law Rudy Olguin and many beloved cousins, nieces and nephews.
