March 10, 1952 — December 29, 2017
Christine Lilly Delgado, 65, was born on March 10, 1952 in Los Angeles, California to Julian Delgado and Olga Ramirez and entered into eternal rest on December 29, 2017 in Victorville, California.
Christine was a domestic multitasker, making her home a loving and nurturing environment for her family and loved ones for over 50 years. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.
Her son, Julian, has written this exert about Christine's life:
"My mom dealt with many painful struggles in her life but always tried to make her existence as peaceful as possible with her core priority as being a good mom. She is a beautiful soul with many attributes that made her a strong willed, humane person, overcoming a life time of obstacles.
Christine D., my mom, was born in Los Angeles by two parents that loved her. At under the age of five years old my mom contracted tuberculosis from her dad whom at the age of twenty-five passed away from the disease. My mom overcame the disease which left scaring in her lungs. Once released from the hospital she dealt with a mother that became unable to care for her and her siblings, going through different forms of abuse, my mom went into foster care and on occasion stood with her grandmother. At the age of eighteen my mom was no longer in foster care and had a son, my brother who suffered from epilepsy until the age of thirteen; at the same time she married my dad. My mom and dads marriage was a struggle due to personality differences and the young age they were. She went through much agony filing for divorce from my dad after the birth of their last child. Because my mom endured much emotional pain from her young age through her young adulthood she vowed not to have her children suffer in the same ways she did. Christine, my mom, never remarried unsure that another man would be able to love her children as much as our biological parents and I believe feared that another man in her life would harm us how her step fathers did to her. Through all her short comings she never turned to substance abuse or any other unconstructive behaviors and gave her entire life, wholeheartedly, to her children. Yet still, my mom had the onset of Pulmonary Fibrosis and COPD that took her. Although, my mom didn’t have it easy she always attempted to have as much serenity as possible and embraced the joys that life had to offer.
My mom loved being outdoors, being around other people and taking in different cultures, had compassion for other species, loved her children with all her heart and gave whenever she could to people she felt were struggling, particularly mothers with children. She enjoyed all landscapes from looking at the ocean from beach side to being in high elevations such as the mountains to the barren desert she saw beauty in. Although my mom had a conservative side where her ethics and morals stood steadfast in always attempting to do the right thing, her free personality allowed herself to immerse in not only varies environments but the cultures that were acclimated in them being able to respect many traditions that people around the world have. Her compassion for people was streamline with her sympathy for other species as she showed that all living entities should be respected. Before her passed she still carried love/pain from the loss of her cat Misty from the late 1980’s and loved her current cat very much, Sophia. She was an amazing mom always looking out for her children attempting to do what was in our best interest and would have, and did, place herself many times in harm’s way for us. Her struggles in life coming from a low socioeconomic background gave her great sympathy for others. Whenever she saw someone in need she attempted to give without reservation or judgement. The very last time she gave was when we went to Mexico. She saw a woman with many children that were walking selling merchandise. I saw my mom hand the lady money and asked my mom why she took the merchandise when there is no use for it. She told me in another words that it not about the merchandise; giving the money is about giving to a woman that is struggling with her kids.
My mom has been strong, honest, true to herself, heartfelt and powerful in her beliefs, highly maternal, adventurous, wise, a life enthusiast, caring, giving and selfless. All qualities my beautiful mom possesses!! I love my mom so much and will miss her!!!! In a life that is unpredictable and unconditional love is hard to come by my mom has always been there for her kids and has always been a source of strength to me. I have been greatly rewarded by being my mom’s son and in her presence."
Christine leaves behind her loving family: Son, Paul Lucero, Jr., Daughter, Brandi Lucero (Diego), Son, Julian Lucero, Daughter, Noel Lucero, as well as several other family members and friends who loved her dearly.
