Share Obituary:
Christine Marie Galvin, 73, of Queen Creek, Arizona, passed away on August 5, 2025, in Mesa, Arizona, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on July 24, 1952, in Torrance, California, to Donald and Betty Allen.
Christine will be remembered for her warmth, kindness, and the deep love she had for her family. She cherished life’s simple pleasures — sharing meals and conversations with loved ones, watching her family grow, and enjoying a trip to the casino to play her favorite slot machines. While she may not have sought the spotlight, her quiet presence and steady love were a constant source of comfort to those who knew her.
She is survived by her devoted husband, William Galvin; her children, Jaime Hopp, Charlie Hopp, William M. Galvin (Melissa), and Sean Galvin (Courtney); her sister, Pamela Allen; and her grandchildren, Coby Prowse, Will Galvin, and Amelia Galvin.
A celebration of Chris’s life will be held on Saturday, August 30, 2025, from 5:00–9:00 PM at Barney Farms Clubhouse, 19590 S. Barney Farms Parkway, Queen Creek, Arizona, 85142.
Her love and presence will be deeply missed but forever remembered in the hearts of her family and friends.

I will miss Chrissy the rest of my life… she was so special to my family and of course the Trend family….
I will always think of her during a Red Sox game… and quietly rooting for them.
I am so glad she invited me to family gatherings and I always had such a memorable time with The Galvin family.
As I always said to her – Miss and love you Chrissy! -

Chris was my sister-in-law. She married in to the Galvin family, and engulfed our love and passion for The Boston Red Sox, and New England Patriot’s. She instilled this passion to her entire family, and we all shared countless games together at her home, and at various stadiums.
Unforgettable Holidays….Her beautiful home in La Palma, that she loved dearly, was open to everyone, to share in our gatherings.
Most important thing I know about Chris is: She loved her family, and they are all wise enough to know this.
I love my Sister-in-Law, and I will dearly miss her.
