Christine F. (Dereskiewicz) Brauns, 87 of Warrington, PA, passed away unexpectedly on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at Neshaminy Manor in Warrington.

Born on November 19, 1935, she was the daughter of the late Adolph and Frances (Harbaczewski) Dereskiewicz of Shenandoah, PA.

Preceding her in death were her husband, George C. Brauns, Jr., her sister, Irene Rabada, her brother, Daniel Dereskiewicz, and her son-in-law, Robin Dhoble. Chris is survived by her six children: Susan Dhoble, Scott Brauns (Paula), Steven Brauns (Lynn), Stacey Shanahan (Peter), Stephanie Brauns, and Sharyn Brauns. She is also survived by her grandchildren: Allison (Dhoble) Heyman (Brett), Trevor and Emily Dhoble, Taylor (Carla) and Austin Brauns, Camryn and Carsyn Brauns, Kyle and Evan Shanahan, Samantha, Téa and Tyler Gilbert, her great-grandson, Rory Heyman, her niece, Tracy (Rabada) Yocum (Jack) and great-nephew, Brayden Yocum.

Christine loved her family and enjoyed spending time with her grandchildren over the years. She moved to Philadelphia, PA following high school, to Levittown, PA after marriage and eventually spent most of her years in Warrington, PA. She was a full-time mom for many years before re-entering the workforce. She retired in 1997 from her position with the Probation Department for the County of Bucks.

Chris was a very creative person, often winning prizes for her artwork while at Neshaminy Manor, and spent many hours completing Adult Coloring Books. She was an excellent seamstress and especially loved making Halloween costumes for her grandchildren, as well as adorable Raggedy Ann dolls and other crafts. Chris also enjoyed playing the lottery, reading, puzzles, listening to music, laughing and her most guilty pleasure: the gossip magazines.
