Beloved wife of Dietrich “Dick” Kussner for 64 years, uniting their British and German heritage to build a wonderful life in Canada. Loving mother of Deborah “Debbie” Hotham and her husband Wayne, Denise Jajal and her husband Agrim, and Bryan Kussner and his wife Rebecca “Becky”.

Predeceased by her brother David Ede. Christine was a caring and selfless mother who was deeply devoted to her children and grandchildren. She was always present in their lives, encouraging them, cheering from the sidelines, and supporting their sports and extracurricular activities with love and pride. She remained devoted to her British roots and family, making multiple trips back to England to visit and always keeping in touch across the pond. A faithful and dedicated member of Calvary United Church, Christine gave her time and talents generously through many roles, including the UCW, Ministry and Personnel Relations, and as a Sunday school teacher. Her quiet leadership and steady presence were felt by all who served alongside her. Christine also cherished her time at the family cottage on Lake Huron, where she found peace and joy. She loved tending to her gardens, finding beauty in every season, and creating a warm and welcoming space for her family and friends. The family wishes to thank their incredible team of nurses for all of their care for Christine, especially Linda and Vergie. A memorial service will be held at Calvary United Church, 290 Ridout Street South, London on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at 1:00 pm, with visitation from 12:00-12:45 pm.
