PETOVELLO, Christine Melanie: December 8, 1975 - July 20, 2014. On Sunday, July 20, 2014 at the age of 38 years, Christine Melanie Petovello passed away at the Foothills Hospital, Calgary, Alberta. She was surrounded by her loving family during her battle with cancer. Christine will be lovingly remembered by her husband of 12 years, Cory Moore; her daughter Zayna Carly Petovello Moore; parents Carol Petovello (Lamb) and Jerry Petovello; brother Devin Petovello; grandmother Irene Petovello (Stonehouse); mother-in-law Lynne Moore (Stanyer), father-in-law Wayne Moore; sister-in-law Stacy Weibel (Moore); brothers-in-law Clint Ball, Mike Moore, and Eric Weibel; as well as numerous loving nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins and family friends. Christine was predeceased by her grandparents Doreen Lamb (Sindell), Neil Lamb and Atelio Petovello. Christine was a loving mother and a strong woman. To all of those who knew her she was pragmatic but still maintained a fun-loving spirit. She had a great sense of humor, was forthright and kind hearted. Christine was born in Cutknife, Saskatchewan on December 8, 1975. She grew up on a farm outside of Neilburg, Saskatchewan and completed all of her schooling there. Christine had a love for animals, so after high school she went to Vermillion, Alberta to become a veterinary technician. She later moved to Calgary, Alberta where she continued her education and attended SAIT. Christine met Cory through mutual friends in Neilburg, Saskatchewan and within two years they were engaged and were married on June 29, 2002. They moved to Strathmore, Alberta in 2007 and made the town their home. Soon afterwards she gave birth to their beautiful daughter, Zayna. Christine worked at Koch Oil Sands for the past 9 years and she loved her job. She had touched many lives, and hers will be honored and celebrated by all of those who were lucky enough to know her. A very warm thank you goes out to the nurses and doctors of the ICU team at Foothills Hospital who took such excellent care of Christine. A memorial service will be held on Friday, July 25, 2014 at Hope Community Covenant Church (Strathmore) at 2:30 p.m. In lieu of flowers donations in Christine's honor can be made directly to your local SPCA.
