Christina Frangos Hobby

Christina Hobby, 88, passed away peacefully at her daughter’s home on the morning of Thursday, February 28, 2019.

Born and raised in New York City, New York, Christina was the daughter of the late Stavros and Mary Frangos. She attended Textile High School and married the late Charles Jack Hobby at the age of 16. As a young married couple with small children, they lived in Tappan, New York before moving to Waverly Hall, Georgia in 1971. While their children were young, Christina fully dedicated herself to being a stay at home mother. She later became a dental hygienist and realtor before retiring as a mail clerk for the United States Postal Service. Gardening, sewing, crocheting, crafting, and spending time with her family was where she was happiest. Christina’s faith was also a big part of her life as she enjoyed worshiping at The Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Church in Macon.

In addition to her parents and husband, Christina was also preceded in death by her siblings, Jeanie Nicholson, Nettie Meola, Bessie Frangos, and Sofia Smith.
