Christina Lee

December 6, 1964 — September 10, 2024

With profound sadness, we share the news of the peaceful passing of our beloved Christina on September 10, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. Born in Singapore, Christina lived a life filled with love, grace, compassion and kindness that touched the hearts of all who knew her.

She was the cherished wife of Terence Holmberg and the beloved mother of Andrea Seet-Kullar (Vikram).

Christina shared a love for travel and adventure with Terence, always eager to explore new places, cuisines and cultures. She embraced the world with curiosity and wonder, creating lasting memories on each journey. She tended her garden avidly and loved to cook, taking pride in making Asian specialties for family and friends. Christina had a fondness for Islay whiskies, appreciating the depth and complexity of the dram. She found simple joy in the quiet moments spent with a good book curled up on the couch with Terence.

She is reunited in peace with her dear parents Lee Chin Paw and Sia Lee Wah; her parents-in-law, Gerard and Martha Holmberg; and her godfather Goh Meng Tong, all of whom she cherished dearly.

Christina is lovingly remembered by her husband, Terence; her siblings, Lee Han Min, Lee Geok Siong (Vincent), Lee Han Kok (Jennifer), Lee Hiang Kwan (Mun Yee), Lee Geok Eng (Desmond), and Lee Han Keong (Xue Er). Also, deeply missed by siblings-in-law, Judith, Bernard (BT), Kathleen (Dee), and Christelle, who she held close with love and affection.

Her extended family includes her beloved godmother Amy Lim, her godsister Maggie (Leong Toon), who were constants in her life. Christina was blessed with nieces, nephews, and godchildren who filled her life with joy and pride, each of whom she adored.

Christina’s kindness, wisdom, spirit, and unwavering love will be missed beyond words by her family, friends and all who knew her.

A funeral service to give thanks for Christina’s life will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at St. Clare of Assisi, 2888 Delahaye Drive, Coquitlam, BC.

The family wishes to express their heartfelt gratitude to the first responders and doctors, nurses and staff of Royal Columbian Hospital for their compassionate and gentle care. They are also immensely thankful to their family and friends for their unending support, prayers, and love during this time of loss.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Christina's memory may be made to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, a cause close to her heart.

The Lord is my Sheperd, I shall not want,
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me beside quiet waters,
He restores my soul
— Psalm 23
