Christine Wilkinson/Sanderford passed away peacefully, at home with her family, on Jan. 11, 2023. She was 62 years old.

Christine was born in Boise, Idaho, in 1960, to Ed and Jaci Wilkinson. She is survived by her husband Ray; son, Connor; stepdaughter, Kimberly; stepson, Max; brother and sister-in-law, Kirt and Penny; niece, Tiffany; and nephews, Jason and Jake.

Christine and Ray met when they both worked for the Alaska Railroad in the early '90s. After that, Christine worked as a teacher, counselor and grant administrator. She got along with everyone, and was loved by many. She was an avid skier and cyclist, and enjoyed nearly any outdoor activity. After retiring and moving to Arizona in 2014, she continued to enjoy the outdoors, and also enjoyed upgrading and decorating her dream home in Fountain Hills, Ariz.

Christine's family loved her very, very dearly and will never forget her kind heart, her beautiful smile and her love of life. We request that, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer's Association in her name.
