Christine Diane Fall, beloved mother, grandmother and friend, passed away on October 3, 2025, at the age of 78. Born on June 30, 1947, Christine was born in Seattle, WA and grew up mostly in California. She attended and graduated from Lemoore High School, in Lemoore, CA.
Christine (Chris) retired from Waugh School District in Petaluma in 2007, where she served as Business Manager. Prior to that, she worked at the Sonoma County Office of Education. Chris had been residing in Santa Rosa, CA for many years at the time of her passing. Prior to her time in Sonoma County, Chris lived in Woodland, CA, where she enjoyed a professional career at both the Yolo County Office of Education, as well as the Natomas Unified School District in Natomas, CA.
After retirement, Chris enjoyed a quieter pace of life cooking and baking for her friends, taking local fitness classes, and meeting her "girlfriends" for coffee and bocce ball on a regular basis. She and her close friends traveled from time to time to destinations such as Disneyland, where they enjoyed the Star Wars Galaxy Edge attraction. Chris also enjoyed spending quality time with her grandchildren as they grew into young adults; cooking for them, shopping and watching movies.
Chris is survived by her two daughters, Cathy Martin (Tate), Jennifer Fall Jung (Paul), and four grandchildren, Alexandra, Parker, Nicholas, and Alexander, as well as three siblings, Annete Allred (Larry), Sharon Homze (Doug) and Philip Dudney (Suzanne).
A Celebration of Life is forthcoming, pending dates where all grandchildren, who are currently in various far away locations due to educational endeavors, can be present. In lieu of flowers, we are certain Chris would prefer you lift a nice glass of red wine and toast to a life well lived.
