Obituary of Christine Pasquarosa

Christine Pasquarosa, 77 of Milford, PA passed away January 5, 2025, surrounded by family. She was a retired Administrative Assistant for Hughes Marine Firms, where she proudly worked for over 30 years.

Chris was a member of the Milford United Methodist Church. She was an avid gardener and loved nature. As a teenager in Brooklyn, some of her fondest memories were working with horses in a local stable. That work perpetuated a lifelong love of animals and nature. She loved all creatures great and small, and marveled in the beauty of the simple things around us on a daily basis. She would encourage friends and family to always stop and smell the roses or to appreciate the simple beauty of the birds in the trees. She also volunteered as a candy striper in her local hospital, where she learned the importance of empathy and gratitude, realizing so many

individuals were less fortunate than she was.

Chris loved spending time with her beloved, Phil, and was thankful for the beautiful life that they built together. She especially loved spending time with her grandchildren. On many occasions she was a trusted confidant for her grandchildren, she had a great listening ear and appreciated sharing any guidance she could with them. Above and beyond all else, Christine had a great sense of humor, she will forever be remembered as grandma chicken head by her grandchildren.

The daughter of the late Oscar Adrian and Catherine (Thuman) Carlson, she was born February 10, 1947 in Brooklyn, NY. She was married to Philip Marion on May 11, 2024. She was predeceased by her siblings, Robert and Enid.

Christine leaves behind to cherish her memories her husband Phil, her children, Scott Murray and his wife Heather, Steven Murray and his wife Ellen, Annamarie Cutroneo and her husband Matt, and her stepdaughter Ruthann Noto. She is survived by her 12 grandchildren, Evan Murray, Eric Murray, Sean Murray, Connor Murray, Thomas Murray, Elizabeth Murray, Christopher Lombardo, Allyson Lombardo, Jenna Rose Lombardo, Justin Cutroneo, Juliette Cutroneo, and Gabby Smith, and her great grandson, Jack Ventre.
