She was born to Harold M. Langslet and Hazel G. Roberts Langslet in Lakeview, on Feb. 7,1935. Christine grew up in southern Oregon, a bright student who made it her cause to raise funds to bring the first Disaster Car to Lake County. In 1951, she also was named Oregon’s top Civil Air Patrol cadet.

She was a Daly Scholarship recipient, majoring in medical technology at Oregon Technical Institute in Klamath Falls. At college, she met David L. Thomas, the football team captain who’d been recruited to play for OTI from Ohio. They married the day after Christine graduated, in 1955.

Dave’s career as a government contractor kept the young couple on the move. They lived in at least a half-dozen states and Germany, and had three children: Christy, Cynthia and David H. Thomas. Christine made the moves seem effortless, setting up households, volunteering at the kids’ schools, befriending neighbors and winning bowling trophies everywhere they went. The family traveled extensively, but always made time to get back to Lakeview for long summer visits, class reunions and Round-Ups.

They finally settled in Boise, Idaho, in the mid-1970s. Christine worked as a medical technologist at St. Alphonsus Hospital, then in the attendance office at Borah High School. Dave had a successful second career in insurance and was the boxing manager/trainer of World Cruiserweight Champion Kenny Keene.

Christine remembered everyone’s anniversaries and birthdates, kept an immaculate home and was the quick-witted life of any gathering. She sang like an angel in many church choirs and was a talented artist and poet.

She was preceded in death by sister Lorna Boe and both of her parents.

She is survived by her husband of 59 years, Dave; son, David (Sharon) Thomas of Nampa, Idaho; daughters, Christy of Boise, Idaho and Cynthia  of Portland; grandson, Adam Schafer of New York City, N.Y.; sister Bonnie Barr of Prescott Valley, Ariz., and a long list of beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and friends – Lairds, Sweeneys, and more.
