She was predeceased by sisters, Jean Lang & Anna McCarthy & brothers, Hank & Frank Lang and was the loving & giving Aunt to Jackie, James & David McCarthy, Frankie, Bobby, Peggy & Kathy Lang and Tina Killeen and her late husband Jim Killeen. She was the Great Aunt of many great nieces & nephews. Christine graduated from New England Baptist School of Nursing, received her BSN degree from Boston University and her M.S. from Univ. of Pennsylvania. She honorably served in the United States Air Force during Korean War and eventually retired from her position as Supervisor of the Neurology Service at Boston VA Hospital.
