Christine was my beloved Manager at Marbella/ Trifari in Pittsburgh, PA. I met Christine in 1983 in Mt Lebanon, Pgh., PA to interview for a Sales Merchandising Position in fine
Department stores, Kaufmans, Hornes and Gimbles. A true gift to acquire this opportunity, actually Christine was a miracle in my life. Then I leave a small town of Connellsville,, PA to relocate to Upper St. Clair, Pgh., Pa to rent a room in a beautiful condo. I then have a bright new beginning. The immeasurable gift of joy, wisdom and opportunity from Christine was a treasure. I travel to NYC for fashion week, Broadway Shows, South Street Seaport and The Palm Restaurant, etc., almost120 times. I love NYC. Currently married with a daughter who shares my love of musicals and the city. I will always miss you and love you Christine. Deepest sympathy to Bob, her beloved husband, I met him in Toronto, and your family.

With Kathy Rogers Shaw and Nancy Nodurft Donnelly, I am one of Chris' "Soul Sisters" from Pittsburgh -- friends for more than 50 years. I have so many great memories of Chris and every single one of them brings a smile to my face. In junior high and high school we spent far too many hours making up complicated line dances to Motown songs while watching Dick Clark's American Bandstand. No one ever saw those fabulous performances, but us! We laughed, we cried, we shared so many experiences and important milestones with one another. The four of us had a special bond that survived even though we scattered to different cities after high school and college. It is rare to experience a special friendship that endures for so many years. The four of us had a reunion in Boston in 2011 and it was as if we had never been apart. No awkward moments--we picked up the conversation exactly where we left off. I last texted Chris on her birthday in December and she replied -- let's talk after the holidays and maybe plan a visit. I'm so sorry that we never had that conversation. I wish I had had a chance to say goodbye and to thank Chris for our many years of friendship. Chris' passing leaves an enormous hole in the universe (and in my heart). She will not be forgotten! Next summer when I am in my favorite spot on the Maine coast, I will sit outside and think of Chris when I see a shooting star in the night sky. Her light won't be easily extinguished. She will live on in our hearts through the memories we have of her.

With much sympathy to Bob and Chris' siblings,

Debbie Meinbresse

Our loss has rocked our hearts but brings memories and great times to mind. Chris’s sister and brothers - keep her passion alive between you and Bob. I always wished I had sisters and brothers to share things with. Over the years I have come to see that is not always a blessing but I know you all stand for the most supportive family ever. When I met Chris in Mt Lebanon we bonded as friends from first meeting. I moved Christmas Day 1966 to New Jersey where Chris had lived and we shared many times with Nancy and Deb even going to Pt Pleasant NJ to stay at Chris’s grandmothers house. Our friendship stayed connected throughout the years and we had a reunion in 2011. It was just like we were all never apart. We will meet again at Dormont Park - we all know where it is and pick up once again where we never left off.

Soul Sisters a Forever

So sorry to hear about Chris' passing. I worked under Chris at Marvella for many years. She was always willing to share her knowledge and make us better salesmen/women.
She was full of life and her laugh wonderful. I shared many hours with her at meetings in NY and in my territory. She was a pleasure to work under. She was tough but fair.
She will be missed by many.
