Christine Krupa Obituary

Krupa, Christine M.

Christine M. Krupa, age 75, late of Bridgeport, formerly of Pilsen. Cherished daughter of the late Casimir "Casey" and Lottie Krupa; cousin to many. Christine attended Saint Adalbert Catholic School and Holy Family Academy before earning a Bachelor's in Mathematics and Secondary Education from DePaul University Chicago. She went on to earn two Master Degrees in Mathematics and Education Administration from DePaul and the University of Chicago UIC Circle Campus. She spent 24 years as a Math Teacher at Chicago's Tilden Technical High School before transitioning into a role as an Administrator with the Chicago Board of Education, formally retiring in 2006. Christine was a devote Catholic and regularly attended 6:00 a.m. Mass every Sunday at Saint Barbara Church. She was a founding member of the 6:00 a.m. Monthly Breakfast Club. A passionate gardener, she found joy tending to her yard in the company of her cherished animals. Christine's love for Rock N' Roll took her to many concerts over the years, including those by Sir Paul McCartney, her favorite artist. She often recalled one of the best moments of her life - locking eyes with Paul while in the front row of one of his shows. Christine appreciated and enjoyed the arts, culture, and travel. Her idea of a fun afternoon or night was going downtown for a lunch and a Broadway show. Christine was always quick with a joke or positive comment. Laughing was her way of lifting your spirit. Her legacy is one of compassion and humor. Christine will be remembered for the many moments she spent with family and friends sharing her love and generous heart.
