Price, 89, passed away on Tuesday, April 25, 2023, surrounded by her family, after a courageous battle with a long illness.  She was born to the late George Curtis and Margaret Hand.  Christine graduated from Newport News High School and upon graduation she worked for 20 years at the Newport News Shipyard.
