Christine passed away on August 7, 2021 at the age of 53. Approximately nine years earlier, Christine had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, however her symptoms didn’t match the diagnosis. She was later re-diagnosed with Multiple Symptom Atrophy (MSA) and given approximately six months to live. Regretfully, two weeks later, she passed away peacefully in her sleep leaving behind a husband, 2 daughters (29, 13), a son (30), her parents, a brother, a sister and countless friends across the country. Christine loved life and laughed non-stop.
MSA ravaged her body taking away her ability to perform everyday activities and eventually forcing her into a wheelchair, but it never destroyed her spirit and she always had a smile for visitors. Disease took Christine’s life far too early, so to honor Christine and continue her legacy of determination, giving, and generosity, her family has created the CEH Foundation.
