Christine Renteria Tellez

Christine Renteria Tellez, of Houston, Texas, passed away on Saturday, February 21, 2026, at the age of 75. She was born on November 11, 1950, in Houston, Texas, and graduated from Milby High School in 1969.

Christine is preceded in death by her parents, Angela and Raymond; her brothers Vernon, Ray, and Rudy; her sister Helen; and her granddaughter Kristen.

She is survived by her three daughters, Michelle, Angela, and Erika, and by her grandchildren Jonathan, Lauren, Ernest, Arial, Zachary, Brianna, Allayah, and Lola. She also leaves behind her great‑grandchildren Arabella, Jayden, Andrew, Gabriel Jr., and Penelope, along with numerous nieces and nephews who loved her dearly.

Known to everyone as Aunt Chris, she was happiest when surrounded by family. She loved unconditionally and showed up with her whole heart, every single time. Her laughter, her guidance, and her warmth shaped us, comforted us, and taught us what family truly means.

Her legacy is one of unwavering strength, quiet devotion, and a love that will echo through our family for generations. Christine poured out more of herself than she ever asked in return, fought harder than anyone knew, and had a gift for making each of us feel cherished, important, and deeply loved.

Even as her body grew weak, her spirit remained fierce, fighting with everything she had until the very end.

She will be missed dearly, and her absence will be felt every day, but we trust that she is held safely in God’s arms, whole and at peace.

A memorial service will be held at Forest Park Lawndale Funeral Home, located at 6900 Lawndale Street, Houston, TX, 77023, United States. The service is scheduled for February 27, 2026, from 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm.
