Christine was born July 26, 1928 in Cabarrus County, to the late Marvin C. Watts and Bessie Allman Watts. Following her high school graduation, Christine completed a degree at Queen's College in Charlotte and worked a career as an administrative assistant at Cannon Mills in Kannapolis, NC. She was happily married to Warren Manus for 56 years until his death. She enjoyed playing the organ for over 40 years at the church, and held many offices in the church where she served her Lord whom she loved very much. She was well known for baking pound cakes for many occasions. Sometimes she would make 10 cakes at a time and freeze them to share with others for special occasions. She enjoyed decorating her home and working with flowers. She mowed her yard weekly, even into her nineties. She loved sharing with others and taught her family many lessons about life. Her legacy will be remembered by many and her kind heart will continue to shine brightly through her family and friends.

Christine is survived by her sister Joyce Scott and many nieces and nephews that loved her dearly.
