Christine Roy was born on November 20, 1948 to James Van Sr.
and Alge Johnson in Wabash, Arkansas. She accepted the Lord
at an early age and was baptized.
Christine was hard working, fun, loving and always willing to
help others.
Christine led a Christian Life that was a beacon of light that
inspired other people to be the best person they could be and to
reach out and help others in their time of need.
Christine was like a mother duck she would reach out and help
everyone even if they were not in the duck family. (Smile)
Christine managed what she had and was always willing to
share. She accompolished many great things in her life but most
important she accepted the Lord as her Savior.
