After an encounter with love, Christine was united in Holy matrimony to the late John Quinzy Adams Adair Sr., on December 24, 1938. Their union was blessed with six children.

Christine really enjoyed helping others, doing crossword puzzles, knitting, reading, shopping and eating out with family and friends. Despite her small stature, she had a heart that transcended heaven and touched many.
