CHRISTINE BERTOLDO
August 17, 1966 – December 13, 2023
It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of Christine Elizabeth Bertoldo, age 57 years, peacefully in Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, with family by her side, on Wednesday, December 13, 2023, after a short battle with Bladder Cancer.
Christine was born on August 17, 1966 to Anna and Ilmar Oksanen. She grew up in Nolalu and attended Whitefish Valley School, then Selkirk High School. She went on to receive her Medical Secretary Certificate at Confederation College. Christine started her long career in the Labs of McKellar and Port Arthur General Hospitals, and then worked in the Medical Records Department at TBRHSC, until retiring in September of this year.
In 2004, Christine married the love of her life, James “Jamie” Bertoldo and they enjoyed 19 years of marriage together.
She faced many health issues in her life, but Christine fought each one with strength, courage and a positive attitude. She received the gift of life in 2016, when she received a kidney and pancreas transplant, allowing her to live another 8 years, which she was so grateful for.
Left to mourn Christine are her husband Jamie; mother-in-law and father-in-law Rita and Aldo Bertoldo; brothers-in-law Larry and Mike, and sister-in-law Theresa and their families. Numerous other relatives survive here and afar.
She was predeceased by her parents, Anna (nee Hansen) and Ilmar Oksanen, sister Patricia and brother Gerry; niece Jackie and her three beloved pets, Yksi, Mika and Findlay. She is now reunited with them all.
A special thank you to all of the doctors and nurses who cared for Christine over the years. Thank you also to her co-workers Julia and Chris for decorating her hospital room for Christmas, and to all who visited her.
As per Christine’s wishes, there will be no service. Should friends so desire, donations made in her memory to the Thunder Bay and District Humane Society would be greatly appreciated.
