Thornwood resident Christina Nassar died on Saturday, Oct. 28 at the age of 45, according to her obituary.
Born in 1978, Nassar was raised in Yonkers before eventually marrying Kal Nassar in 2007 and moving with him to Thornwood. There, they welcomed their three children, Nicole, Christopher, and Joseph.
Those who knew Nassar knew that she was a deeply caring mother who always went out of her way for others, especially her family. She was so pleasant to be around that people would often become friends with her immediately after meeting her, according to her obituary.
"With her infectious smile, beautiful brown eyes, and a heart bigger than the moon, not a person that met Christina didn’t fall in love with her instantly," her obituary said.
In addition to spending time with friends and family, Nassar had a love for cooking, vacationing in Aruba, and visiting casinos.
Nassar now leaves behind Kal; her three children and her stepdaughter, Jenna; her parents, Issak and Rosa; her sisters, Mary and Jennifer; her nieces and nephews, Angelina, Giavanna, Amelia, and Nicholas; as well as several other family members.
A service for Nassar will be held on Monday, Oct. 30 at Sinatra Memorial Home in Yonkers at 499 Yonkers Ave. from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
