Christine "Lady" (McGuigan) Graham, born Feb 28th 1974 to Donald and Patricia (Gitschier) McGuigan, passed away peacefully in her sleep at her home due to medical complications Feb 23rd2022 at the age of 47. She graduated from Memorial High School and UNH. She lived for her two children Abigail Graham and Jameson Coulstring that she raised with the love of her life Ernest Coulstring. She left behind her two parents, her niece Kameron A. McGuigan, and her nephew Aidan J. McGuigan that she loved and cared for deeply. She also left behind many beloved aunts, uncles, and cousins. She was passionate about helping those in need, and making love and happiness priorities in life over money and material possessions. She loved trips to anywhere, mostly the beach, lake, park, or anything to "Get out of the house." She loved animals, particularly sloths, and visiting zoos or aquariums as well. Day trips to local attractions were common place, and always brought happiness to her life. She believed in, and impressed on her family, making the most of everyday and not taking it for granted. She insisted on donating, or helping multiple causes in any way that she could. She made a point of standing up for what she thought was right even when it may have caused some controversy, and would always fight to make sure her children got what they needed. Her children have described her as an awesome, kind, and compassionate mother. She was always there to listen to your problems when her family had questions, concerns, or just after a bad day. She would often have little pieces of wisdom to help with how to make the best of it, how to keep your morals in the situation, or a caring ear to just let you vent. She had a way with writing, and using it to express her feeling that I could really use right now. She is joining her brother John in heaven, who passed away July 19th 2015, and she always missed till the very end. She never really took credit for what she gave to this world, and the people close to her, sometimes seeing herself as a burden, and feeling like there was more she could do. Enough can't be said about what she gave, the impact that she left, or my appreciation for how much she did for us. She saved my life, and brought hope and opportunity to her children's lives that couldn't have existed without her. She will be forever missed by the ones that she lives on inside of. A Chapel Graveside Service will be held at 11:00 AM on March 10, 2022 at St. Joseph Cemetery, 448 Donald Street, Bedford. In lieu of flowers the family suggests that memorial contributions be made in Christine's name to Apraxia Kids, apraxia-kids.org or Best Buddies,www.bestbuddies.org Please visit durningbykowskiandyoung.com to view an online guestbook.
