Christine Cecelia Myslenski
May 24, 1948 - December 1, 2023
Christine Cecelia Myslenski of Newark, DE passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on Friday, December 1, 2023.
Born in Darby, PA on May 24,1948, Chris was the daughter of the late Walter L. and Evelyn C. (Burns) Mickle. Chris was a 1966 graduate of Newark High School and afterwards attended Hiram Scott College. She went on to have a rewarding career as a flight attendant for Eastern Airlines and later worked for the New Castle County Division of Aging, as well as Chase Manhattan Bank.
A devout Catholic, Chris was an active member of Holy Family Parish, where she was a Eucharistic Minister to the sick and homebound. Chris was an avid animal advocate who over many years rescued homeless cats, providing them the love and kindness they so deserved. In her leisure time she enjoyed shopping, trips to the beach, having dinner with her girlfriends and attending her grandsons’ baseball games.
Above all, Chris cherished the time spent with her family and friends. She had countless friends and was a well-loved member of her community. To know Chris was to know love. She saw the good in everyone and had a special place in her heart for all. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
She is survived by her loving family; daughter, Nicole A. James (Michael); grandsons, Evan and Ryan; sister, Kathleen Mickle-Askin (Jack); nieces, Leigh Weldin (Mark) Elise and Carter; and Laura Askin (Jim McDaniel).
A memorial mass and celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Christine was a kind and caring woman. I have many very fond memories of her from over the years. Driving Nicole and I to the roller skating rink, accidentally spitting water in her face when Nicole made me laugh, hanging out at her house waiting for Nicole to get ready to go out. Christine saw the good in people. She inspired me to be a better person. I will truly miss her smile, her laugh and her sense of humor. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family all of those who loved her.

I miss my lovely, long-time neighbor and friend, Chris. She indeed saw the good in everyone, and she treated everyone she met with kindness and respect. She was a source of community history and neighborhood knowledge to me. I was also fortunate to have her advice and experience with cats over the years. Her passing is a great loss to our community and me personally.

Oh Chris! How I will miss you. I was so scared when I entered the middle of 4th grade at Holy Angeles. First time in a Catholic school, wearing a uniform, fresh from New York. Sister introduced me to the class. You took me by the hand and we’ve been best friends ever since. I love you girl!!
