Christine A. Perkins, 53, Woodstock, died Sunday, Feb. 22, 2015, at Sherman Hospital, Elgin.

She was born March 30, 1961, to Albert and Theresa (Owczarz) Reed in Chicago. 

She was a loving and prideful mom who was deeply devoted to her children. Her home was often the second home to many of her children’s friends. She worked at PCCR as an IT systems administrator. She was well-versed in a little of everything. She stayed current with the new developments in her field and in 2012 received an associate’s degree. She was a member of the Women of the Moose in Woodstock. She enjoyed completing many projects around the house and also loved giving homemade gifts. Enjoying and spoiling her grandson was her most recent favorite way to spend time.

She was a fun, loving and compassionate person that positively impacted the lives around her. 

Survivors included two children, Holly Perkins (Phillip Boggs) and Kevin Perkins; a grandson, Sebastian Boggs; three siblings, Karen (Doug) Coon, John Reed and Bette (Greg) Platta; four nephews; and a niece.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
