1980-2017
Christina was born October 28, 1980 at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville, Missouri to Edward and Kimberly (Sunderman) Jackson. Christina grew up in Burlington Junction, Missouri and graduated from West Nodaway High School, class of 1999. After getting her EMT license she worked as an Emergency Room Tech at St. Francis Hospital while studying pre-med at Northwest Missouri State. While at St. Francis Hospital she met her soon to be husband Christopher. They married March 27, 2003, in Las Vegas and then moved to Kansas City to continue nursing school and to work in Kansas City at Research Medical Center as a Registered Nurse. Christina continued in Nursing and received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from University of Missouri Kansas City.
Christopher and Christina were blessed with the birth of their son, Blake, on May 27, 2010. Shortly after his birth they moved to Clarinda, Iowa to be closer to family.
Blake was her whole life and she loved to shop for him. She had a passion for giving and enjoyed making children smile. Her treats and gift bags for the students in Blake’s class were always the best.
Christina was a very fun-loving person and would do anything for anyone that needed her help. She loved crafting, decorating and she was an awesome baker. She always looked forward to the holidays when the three generations (Joyce, Kim and Christina) could get together and prepare the family meal. She was very close to her grandmother, Joyce Sunderman, and enjoyed spending time with her.
Christina passed away suddenly in her home November 7, 2017.
Preceding her in death were great-grandparents Bryce and Edna Barnett, Marvin and Juanita Sunderman and grandparents Helen and Clifford Jackson.
She is survived by her husband, Christopher and son Blake Robertson, Clarinda, Iowa; parents, Ed and Kim Jackson, Burlington Jct., Missouri; brothers Sam (Nikki) Jackson and daughter Reese, Peculiar, Missouri, Steve Jackson, St. Joseph, Missouri; grandparents Larry and Joyce Sunderman, Clearmont Missouri; aunts, uncles and many other family and friends.
