Christine was born in Vandalia, IL on August 8, 1939, the daughter of George S. and Ellen R. (Hoffman) Yenny. Christine was a "jackie" of all trades; she was married once before, but that didn't suit her lifestyle. She worked maintenance at the Vandalia Airport, worked at Evans Public Library, but most importantly she was a caregiver for her sister, Ellen Black. Christine was a walking genealogy book of Fayette County; she knew more people and how they were related than most. She lived life on her own terms.
Christine was a member of the East Fork Baptist Church and regularly attended New Bethel Church on County Line Road.
She is survived by many friends and was preceded in death by her parents; brother, Russel Yenny; and sisters, Della Mae Yenny & Ellen Black.
