Steinert, and resided there until 1989, when relocation was made to Castle Rock, Colorado. Following the death of Bernhard Steinert, Christina moved to Delta, Colorado, where she made her home until her death. Christina was a diligent homemaker, devoted mother and wife, with a wide range of interests including cooking, gardening, traveling, and social activities with family and friends.ÊShe was widely known for the delicious foods she prepared, including breads, pastries and other baked goods. Christina had an open, trusting demeanor seasoned with a spontaneous sense of humor, which delighted everyone who knew her. Christina was a life-long faithful member of the Lutheran Church.
