Chris had worked for several years for Fulton Bank, first in the Operations Center then becoming at Teller at the Downtown Lancaster Branch. She worked for 27 years for Lancaster Newspapers, retiring in 2018 from the Advertising/Inside Sales Department.
Christine was one of the kindest gentlewomen you would have met. Her main priorities were taking care of her house and being there for her husband, children and grandchildren. She attended as many of her grandchildren activities that her health would allow her to do, she loved them dearly. Yearly trips to Rehoboth Beach with her family was always something that Christine looked forward to. She attended Grace Community Church in Willow Street.
Christine will be deeply missed by her husband Robert of Conestoga; daughter, Cari L. Krause of Washington Boro and son, Clifford A. "Butch" Diehl, husband of Heather of Millersville. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Vincent, Evelyn, Alaina and Colton and her sister, Susan Houston, wife of Curtis of Norristown.
