Christine F. Radeline's Obituary
Christine A. Radeline (nee Foley), age 63, of Bethany Beach DE was born and raised in Teaneck, New Jersey and was the youngest of five children. Chris graduated from Immaculate Heart Academy and Montclair State College. She furthered her studies at John’s Hopkins University for her master’s degree.
After college, Chris began her career as one of the first employees of People Express Airlines in Newark, NJ and enjoyed every moment of the experience traveling. She was employed by EDS, BAE, the US Justice Department and finally the FDIC.
Chris met the love of her life, Royce Radeline, and married in 1990, settling in Virginia. When their daughter Katherine entered their lives, they both enjoyed the richness of being parents. Kate was her greatest joy in life.
Chris was fiercely loyal and devoted to her family. She was a loving wife, mother, sister, and aunt to her family. She especially loved doting on all the little ones in the family and her dog. In her younger days she loved the adventure of traveling and visiting the beach. Family get-togethers were always a great opportunity to tease anyone and everyone. Once Chris retired to the beach (her happy place), a great day was simply playing with her dog, sitting on the beach at sunset or listening to the birds in her backyard.
Chris is predeceased by her parents, John and Marguerite Foley, and her brothers, Michael, and Peter. She is survived by her devoted husband, Royce; her cherished daughter, Katherine; her sisters, Marianne Elwell of Plano, TX and Kathy Tubridy of River Edge, NJ; along with her nephews and nieces, Christopher, Colleen, David, Kristen, Lauren, Michael, Ryan, and Samantha.
