Tate

Christine Tate, a beacon of love and generosity, passed away peacefully at the age of 71 on May 29, 2024, in her hometown of Greenville, SC, surrounded by the family she so dearly cherished. Born on May 18, 1953, in the very same city, Christine's life was a testament to the enduring power of care and compassion.

A proud graduate of Greenville High School, Christine's thirst for knowledge and desire to help others led her to pursue and receive her nursing degree from Greenville Technical College. Her career in nursing was marked by the same qualities that defined her personal life: loving, thoughtful, and generous. Christine's hands were known to heal, her words to comfort, and her presence to bring peace.

Christine's family was the center of her universe. She was a devoted mother to her children, Jason Leslie, Robin Haulbrook, Ren and Wesley Welborn. Each of them carries a part of her spirit, her resilience, and her unyielding support. As a grandmother to Sidney Perkins, Daniel Haulbrook, and Gabriel Goycochea, she instilled values of kindness and integrity. The joy of her later years was further multiplied by her great-grandchildren, Layla and Josie, who will grow up hearing legendary tales of their great-grandmother's warmth and grace.

Those who knew Christine will remember her as the heart of every gathering, the one who remembered every birthday, and the first to lend a hand. Her legacy is one of selfless love and the countless lives she touched both in and out of the hospital wards. Christine's life was a beautiful journey that left a trail of cherished memories and a blueprint for a life well-lived.

As we bid farewell to Christine Tate, we celebrate a life that was truly a gift to us all. Her spirit will continue to guide and inspire her family, friends, and all who were fortunate enough to have been embraced by her kindness.
