Christine Relf

Relf, Christine (Patti) of Saugus formerly of Revere passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on February 2, 2025, at the age of 75. Born in and raised in the West End of Boston on May 12, 1949, to the late Anthony Patti and Andree (Frayon). Christine left an indelible imprint on the hearts of all who knew her. With her early years in Boston shaping the woman she would become - strong, loving, and deeply connected to her roots.

Christine, a proud Bostonian, made Revere, Massachusetts, her home, where she lived a rich and fulfilling life. Her career in the retail clothing and shoe industry was marked by hard work and dedication. But Christine's real passion lay in the warm embrace of her family, the laughter-filled bingo nights, her passion for candlepin bowling, the peaceful moments at the beach, and the simple joy of cooking for her loved ones. Her favorite retreat was going to New Hampshire and Maine, where she loved to camp and create memories that will be cherished forever. 

She was a devoted mother of Keena Relf and her partner Ramon Diaz of Saugus. Jourdan Doherty (Relf) and her boyfriend David Burnham of Wilmington and their fur babies Logan and Edgar. Cherished grandmother of Jalyna Branson (Diaz) and her husband John and their fur puppy Cannoli. Dear sister of Stephen Patti of Revere and the late Anthony Patti. Also survived by many loving nieces and nephews. Christine's legacy is not defined by her accomplishments alone, but by the love she shared, the joy she spread, and the resilience she demonstrated in every aspect of her life.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held at a later date by the family. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the American Cancer Society.
