Christine
Hardy
Jan 16, 1947 — Feb 20, 2025
Christine Hardy, 78, passed away on February 20, 2025, after a long illness. She raised four kids in Mishicot, WI and was a hard-working Christian woman who loved to garden. She met her husband, Charles, in 1985 and they married in 1989, moving to Plymouth, MA. She became a bank teller for Rockland Trust Co for 18 years. In 2014, they returned to Wisconsin to be closer to family. She loved her grandkids and great grandkids immensely. Christine never missed one of her children, or grandchildren's birthdays and took great delight in buying gifts.
Christine was a gourmet cook, known for her extensive collection of over 900 cookbooks. She took pride in making some of the most difficult, delicious dishes for Charles. She loved to entertain, hosting numerous parties for friends and neighbors. When her family came to visit out East, she always made them lobster and took them whale watching. Christine was a very social person making friends easily wherever she went. She was known for her love of music and dancing. She absolutely adored Elvis and always had him on in the car. Her deep love for dogs, especially their three beloved Golden Retrievers, was a beautiful reflection of her kind and compassionate heart. When moving into their home in Green Bay the first thing she did was go out and buy a dog. Christine also loved to travel with Charles, going on numerous trips around the world. Their favorite trip going to Italy.
Christine is survived by her loving husband, Charles Hardy; children, Melissa (Bryan) Blom, Teresa (Robert) Swader, Scott (Christine) Chervenka, Laura (Scott) Smits; 10 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren, Mackenzie (Steve) VanDenLangenberg & children Maverick, Myles, & Stella, Taylor Blom, Anthony (Kylie) Blom & children Owen & Lainey, Austyn (Nicole) Chervenka, Kayla Chervenka, Benjamin Smits, Cameron Smits, Kylie Smits, Cole Swader, and Mason Swader.
