Christine Gail SCHNEIDER BAIRD, 38, passed away on January 5, 2004.

She is survived by her husband and daughter, Christopher and Ciera BAIRD; mother, Carolyn O'CONNOR, father, Jim SCHNEIDER; siblings, Colleen ORTEGA, Robert SCHNEIDER, Cheryl COREY and Carrie FAIR; paternal grandmother Elaine SCHNEIDER and ten nieces and nephews.

Christine was born on May 2, 1965 in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, but has spent most of her 38 years here in the Valley of the Sun. Despite a lifetime of health challenges Christine lived fully and passionately - always seeking to improve her self and her world.

She earned her degree in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix and went on to start her own home inspection business.

Christine's crowning achievement was the miracle birth of her daughter Ciera, now 2 1/2 years old. Christine embraced her new role as wife and mother with love and passion always creating special traditions that will live on for generations to come.

Christine's many gifts include an amazing ability to tell a story and have the entire room laughing long before the punch line.

Christine's strength and determination inspired others to strive to be the best they can be. She will be greatly missed by all who had the privilege to be in her life.

A Celebration of her Life was held at the King of Glory Lutheran Church 2085 E. Southern Avenue, Tempe, AZ 85282.

Donations can be made in Christine's memory to her daughter Ciera Baird, at Bank of America account number 4656312122.
