Christine lived in Buford most of her life building close relationships with her cousins and friends. She was a member of Rock of Christ Baptist Church where she devoted her life to support and worship God. She also enjoyed supporting other churches in the area. If you talked to her, you were most likely asked to buy a ticket for a raffle or invited to church. Her favorite pastime was watching her soaps during the day and her beloved Atlanta Braves at night.
