Life Legacy
Christine (Herring) MacPherson, 58, of Unadilla, passed away Friday, March 5, 2010. For several years Christine courageously and stoically battled breast cancer.
Christine was born May 30, 1951, in Stamford, the daughter of Hobart and Helen (Cook) Herring.
She graduated from high school with the Unadilla Central School class of 1969. Christine worked for 40 years at York Rake, where her experience, skill, and work ethic proved invaluable.
Christine was a loving mother and grandmother, devoted daughter and sister, and her greatest pleasures in life came from her family. Her generosity, patience, upbeat personality, and cooking made her home a second home for many of her daughter's friends. Christine was a passionate animal lover who delighted in her pets.
For the past 10 years, Christine and her grandchildren returned annually to Chincoteague Island, Va., to observe the wild horses of Assateague.
Christine is survived by two loving daughters, Kelly MacPherson of Oneonta, and Heather Cole of Sidney. Christine referred to the trio as the three musketeers. She is also survived by three grandchildren, Ryan MacPherson, Sarah Shea, and Courtney Cole; her companion of 20 years, James Decker; her brothers, Thomas and James Herring; her sister, Elaine Boyd; her son-in-law, Matthew Shea; many nieces and nephews, and her third daughter, Serena McCann.
