Christine Marie Walsh

Christine Marie Walsh, 60, of St. George, Kansas, passed away on August 6, 2025.

Born on December 23, 1964, to Richard L. Belin and Jeanette M. Holladay, in Manhattan, KS. Our mother will be remembered for her fierce devotion to her family, her compassion for animals, and her undeniable loyalty to the Kansas City Chiefs. Whether she was sporting red and gold on game day or spoiling all the pets she adored, Mom was a true believer and dedicated herself wholeheartedly to everything she loved.

Our mother was a devoted parent, a proud grandmother, a beloved sister, and a cherished friend whose smile, laugh, and humor lit up every room. Her compassion ran deep, and her quick wit left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her. Throughout her life, Mom poured herself into raising her family and nurturing an unbreakable bond with her sisters, offering unconditional love and unwavering loyalty. She found joy in everyday moments, treasured traditions, and the company of those she held close.

Christine is survived by her children: Rhonda M. Zarger (Nick) of St. George, Eric E. Walsh of St. George, and Christopher R. Walsh (Kolbie) of Wamego; her sister Michelle L. Belin (Traci) of Manhattan; her father Richard L. Belin of El Dorado; and her grandchildren Olivia, Owen, Brody, Wyatt, and Kellen.

She was preceded in death by her mothers, Jeanette M. Holladay and Griseldis “Chris” Belin, and her sister, Angela S. Belin.

In accordance with our mothers’ wishes, a Celebration of Life will be held by family on Saturday, August 16, 2025, from 3:00 to 5:00 pm at Cross Point Community Church in Wamego, KS; all are welcome to join us in sharing memories and honoring her life. For those who felt a particularly close bond with our mom—through friendship, extended family, or shared journey—an additional hour of visitation will take place from 2:00 to 3:00 pm. This gathering will feature a short passage and a heartfelt prayer to honor Mom’s life and celebrate the beautiful legacy she has left in each of us.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed to the Humane Society, honoring her lifelong love of animals. Memorials may be left in the care of Campanella & Stewart Funeral Home, P.O. Box 48, Wamego, KS 66547.
