She will be missed by her loving grandchildren Stephen (BFD), and his wife Bonnie, Harry and his wife Lauren, Tim and his wife Amanda, Nicholas, and Brittany Hatzieleftheriadis. Grammy will also be survived by her 8 great grandchildren with whom she adored. Christine was born in Auckland, New Zealand, December 24, 1928, to John Roy Fraser, and Kathleen Fraser. (Reid) She had an exceptional childhood, where she developed her love for nature and animals. She lived in an estate where she tended to her animals, especially her horses, she rode everyday, riding was her passion. Her life was prestige's, surrounded by the elite. One of her neighbors, her brothers best friend, was Sir Edmund Hillary, the first to climb Mt. Everest! She attended The Diocesan school for girls, a renowned private school, and blossomed from there. She spent time in Sydney Australia before relocating to the states with her husband, Ardelle Kindred who was black, which raised a lot of eyebrows, (to say the least) They settled in Boston and had their two beloved daughters, Deborah and Michele. It was difficult at times, due to the racism that surrounded their interracial marriage, and although their marriage didn't last long, they still remained friends, focusing on the best for their daughters. Christine's embedded experience in having the best education drove her to wanting the same for her girls. She heard about Brookline schools, that they were the best, but as a single mother, she didn't think she could afford to live there. She was determined to move there, and she found a small basement apartment, that reduced the rent because she took out the garbage barrels for everyone, and kept the building clean. She didn't mind it at all, she wanted her girls to have the best. She embraced the neighborhood, and was instrumental in starting a food coop, so our neighborhood could have fresh fruits and vegetables at a low cost. She was an advocate for her biracial daughters, always defending them when they were called derogatory names, She would always emphasize that her daughters could be anything they wanted to be, and to ignore the ignorance that was prevalent at the time. She never remarried, she devoted her life to her daughters. She cherished her grandchildren, she was a loyal friend. She was a talented individual with numerous creative hobbies. She knitted her grandchildren sweaters and blankets, made her own clothes, and made jewelry to match her outfits. She was always dressed in style, and held herself to the highest of standards. She was frequently complemented on the way she dressed. She never drove, she loved walking through the village and Coolidge Corner, everyone knew her beautiful smile and friendly demeanor. She had her certain spots where she would stop and feed "her birds" she knew they were waiting for her. She always enjoyed a party or get together, her ability to relate to both young and old came easy to her. She was worldly, always up on current events, she knew her history, always up for interesting conversations. She lived a positive upbeat life, always a step ahead with nutrition, exercise, and style. She was a kind understanding and compassionate woman who was loved by all that knew her. She will be deeply missed. A graveside committal service for Christine and Shelly will be held on Sunday October 24th at 11:00 AM in the Walnut Hills Cemetery. Relatives and friends are kindly invited.
