In her early 90’s, daughters Sandra and Linda welcomed her into their home where she enjoyed a wonderful view of the birds and other visitors to the Monahan Wetlands area. Christena was a longstanding member at Bells Corners United Church, where she lovingly cared for children in their Nursery for many, many years and enjoyed every minute of it. <br> <br>A Celebration of Life will be held at Bells Corners United Church, 3955 Old Richmond Road, on Friday, April 12, 2019 at 11:00 a.m., reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, donations to Bells Corners United Church, Elizabeth Bruyère Centre, or Ottawa Humane Society. <br> <br>“Until we meet again.” <br></div>
