Christine Rosilia Sampson

BORN: May 19, 1918
DIED: March 1, 2011

Christine Rosilia (Rickerl) Sampson was born May 19, 1918 to Frank and Julia (Baldus) Rickerl in Story City. She attended country school and graduated from Gilbert High School in 1937.

Christine married Carroll Sampson on January 25, 1949. They farmed in the rural Garden City and Radcliffe areas before moving to Story City in 1984. Carroll preceded Christine in death in 1993. She worked for Collegiate Manufacturing in Ames and John’s I-35 Skelly truck stop in Story City.

Quilting and crocheting were among Christine’s favorite hobbies. She pieced together and quilted hundreds of quilts for many people, the Zion Church, and Bethany Manor. Christine moved to Bethany Manor in 2006. While at Bethany Manor, she crocheted lap robes and worked on numerous needle work pieces. She was happiest when her hands were busy making items for others to enjoy. She is also well known at the Roland-Story Elementary School as a pen pal to many children over the years. Christine loved to volunteer her time and help out where needed.

Christine died Tuesday, March 1, 2011, at Bethany Manor in Story City, Iowa.
