RALEIGH – Christine Lee, 56, of Jamison, Pennsylvania, passed away on Sunday, May 10, 2026, in Raleigh, North Carolina.  Born on June 19, 1969, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, she was the beloved daughter of John and Antigoni Kefalogiannis.

Christine earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh and went on to receive a Master of Business Administration from Cleveland State University.  She carried her education into a successful and fulfilling career with the Kellogg Company and Johnson & Johnson, touching the lives of many along the way.

She shared 24 loving years of marriage with her husband, John Lee.  Together, they built a life centered on love, family, and lasting memories.

Christine’s greatest joy was being a mother to her two children, John and Alexa, whom she loved deeply and supported with unwavering dedication.  She was a devoted wife, a caring daughter, and a loyal sister and friend.  She shared a particularly close bond with her sister Francesca and cherished her extended family.

Throughout her life, Christine lived in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Naperville, Illinois, and Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  No matter where she was, she built meaningful friendships and left a lasting impression on those around her.

Christine will be remembered as a strong and compassionate woman who faced life’s challenges with resilience and determination.  She cared deeply about her family and friends and was known for her kindness, warmth, and unwavering support.

She found joy in traveling, walking, reading, and spending time with those she loved most, especially at the beach.  She was also a devoted member of St. Luke Greek Orthodox Church in Broomall, Pennsylvania.

Christine is survived by her husband, John Lee; her children, John Lee and Alexa Lee; her sister, Francesca Vrettos; her brother-in-law, George Vrettos; her nephews, John and Christopher Vrettos; her aunt, Villy Grillou; her mother-in-law, Marilyn Lee; and her extended family, including Mike and Roxanne Lee, Tom and Angie Lee, Margaret and Kevin Berry, Jeanne and James Pearcy, several nephews and nieces along with many dear friends.

Christine was truly loved by all who knew her. Her strength, loyalty, kindness, and devotion to family will never be forgotten.

Funeral services will be private.

In lieu of flowers, memorials may be offered in memory of Christine to St. Luke Greek Orthodox Church, 35 N. Malin Rd, Broomall, PA 19008.

May Her Memory Be Eternal.
