Christina Harry William, a cherished mother, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away suddenly on Saturday, May 31, 2025, in Maquoketa, IA, at the age of 46. Born on September 22, 1978, in Micronesia, Christina’s vibrant spirit and compassionate heart touched the lives of all who knew her.

Christina’s journey began in Pohnpei, Micronesia, where she was born to Kehpa and Relihna (Harry) William. She grew up surrounded by the love of her family and the rich culture of her homeland. A proud graduate of OHWA Christian High School in 1997, Christina’s thirst for knowledge led her to attend the College of Micronesia, where she furthered her education.

In 1999, Christina’s adventurous spirit took her to South Carolina, where she earned her CNA certificate, dedicating herself to the well-being of those in her care. Her journey eventually brought her to Maquoketa, IA, in 2010, where she continued her work as a CNA at Crestridge. Christina’s hard work and dedication were evident as she served the community at Casey’s General Store for a decade and later as a Direct Support Professional for Imagine the Possibilities, where she worked for the past four years.

Christina’s life was a testament to her love for her family and her faith. She attended the Maquoketa Island Church and found joy in the simple pleasures of life. Known for her social nature, Christina relished in camping, playing pool, and spending quality time with friends and family. Her unique fondness for chewing on ice cubes will be fondly remembered by all who knew her.

Left to honor Christina’s memory are her beloved children, Diamond (Shawn Solomon) William of Cedar Falls, IA, Kasedi Frazier, Semiya Gill, and Jazmyn Gill, all of Maquoketa, IA; her treasured grandchild, Ina Rey Solomon; her devoted brothers, Kehper William of Micronesia, and Ken (fiancée Kim Samson) William of Maquoketa, IA.  Christina’s legacy is also carried on by her 13 nieces and 18 nephews, each of whom held a special place in her heart.  She was preceded in death by her loving parents, her sister Chris William Johnson, and her brothers William William, Benser William, Menine William, Nathan William, and Martin William.

A celebration of her life will be held at 11 A.M., Saturday, June 21, 2025, at Maquoketa Island Church (Faith Community Church), 511 West Summit Street, Maquoketa, Iowa. Visitation will be held prior to the service from 10 to 11 A.M. at the church.  Burial will be at Mount Hope Cemetery, Maquoketa.  A luncheon will be served immediately following the burial at the church.  The Carson Celebration of Life Center in Maquoketa is caring for the family.
