Born June 2, 1933 in Chicopee, Massachusetts she joined our Heavenly Father April 29, 2009 peacefully at home with her loving family. Beloved Mother, Grandmother, and Great-Grandmother she was a loving and kind person and her family meant everything to her. She was a homemaker with five children, 16 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. She took great pleasure in watching them until she was no longer able to do so. One of her greatest accomplishments was making sure her son learned to speak and lip read so that he could better interact in the hearing world. She was very proud of the successes and accomplishments of all of her family. She is preceded in death by her husband James F. Christianson, father Max Czupkiewicz, mother Sophie Marcik and stepfather Joseph Marcik. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to all of those people who participated in her care especially Dr. Manaloto-Racsa, Dr. Racsa, Dr. Arif and Dr. Vaz. Their special care made Mom's life easier. The love and support we have received from our family at Lourdes Medical Center has given us comfort during this difficult time.
