Christine Moroudas of Weirton, 62, passed away on Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, leaving behind a legacy as a true friend to those who knew her and a lasting imprint on the lives she touched as a teacher. Known to her family and friends as Chris, she was born on Aug. 17, 1950. She is survived by her brother, Tom (Stamati) and his longtime friend, Jane Carbasho, who were at her side in her final hours. She is also survived by her beloved cat, Gus; several cousins; and a long list of faithful friends. She was preceded in death by her parents, Constantinos (Gus) and Mary. Chris graduated from Weir High School in 1968 and West Liberty State College in 1972. She positively impacted the lives of children for 33 years, serving as a teacher at Cove Elementary School, New Manchester Elementary School and Broadview Elementary School. After retiring from her teaching career, her desire to socialize prompted her to obtain jobs at the Millsop Community Center in Weirton; Mountaineer Racetrack in Chester; and Fabian Formals in Steubenville. Chris enjoyed jogging, walking, and collecting Boyds Bears. She also liked sports and was a proud fan of Weir High School, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. She had a special place in her heart for animals, especially cats. The family wishes to thank the staff of Valley Hospice.

  11. Ill never forget Chris mom, Mary, Evelyn, Olga, my mom, talking for hours in Aunt Phyllis yard. All were not like my family-they were family. Over the years, Chris never forgot our connection. After my moms funeral, Chris came to my house to support and console me like only an old and dear friend could. This past July 4th, even through her illness, Chris insisted on staying with my handicapped sister while I went somewhere on the holiday. Chris loved my animals and we always laughed that my pitbulll Simon had the same name as a cat of hers. Ill remember Chris for her kindness and compassion for people and animals and for her strength and fortitude during illness and adversity. Ill remember Chris for her fine taste in clothing, jewelry, handbags, fashion, and design and her knack for putting it all together. She made class effortless. God bless her soul. Janet Lalich
