Christina "Christine" Ann Karabinos, passed away
suddenly while visiting family in Florida on March 7, 2005.
Christine is preceded in death by her beloved mother, Rita Winkel.
Christine is survived by her loving husband of 20 years, Edward
Francis, and her two sons; the lights of her life, Brian Edward
and Matthew Henry. Christine is also survived by her father,
Gerald Winkel; her sisters, Jeannie Koerner, Patricia (Paul) Baehr,
Geraldine Lattimer, Linda (Dan) Ratusz; brothers, Thomas (Marcy)
and John (Carole). Christine was born November 11, 1957 in
Columbus, Ohio, where she spent her youth, graduating from Upper
Arlington High School in 1975 and later becoming a licensed
esthetician. Christine and Ed moved the family to Sacramento,
California in 1990 to open the Stanley Steemer franchise that Ed
still owns and operates.Christine, a resident of El Dorado Hills
for the last 9 years, loved entertaining and spending time with
her friends and neighbors. Christine also enjoyed home decorating
projects, gardening, as well as time on the course with her
regular golfing girlfriends. As much as Christine enjoyed her
hobbies, she derived the greatest joy from the true passion of her
life: her family, who she affectionately referred to as "my
people." Christine showed her love and fierce devotion to her
sons in many ways; from cheering them on at Little League games,
to gliding down the ski slopes alongside them, or collecting and
organizing college information. Friends may call Friday, March 11,
