Christina Chilton

Christina Marie Chilton, 48, of Cumming, Georgia, passed away on November 6, 2026, after a brave and spirited battle with leukemia.

Born on February 13, 1978, Christina was a woman of deep conviction and vibrant personality. She was never afraid to speak her mind, and her sharp wit was matched only by her fierce love for her family. For 26 beautiful years, she was married to her high school sweetheart, Andrew. Together, they built a life centered on family, laughter, and a shared love of travel, exploring the world and making lasting memories alongside their children.

As a dedicated homemaker, Christina poured her heart into her home, showing her love through her incredible cooking and tending to her beautiful garden. Beyond her home, she was deeply committed to her community, proudly volunteering her time with Citizens Helping in Policing (CHIP).

Christina is survived by her devoted husband, Andrew; her three cherished children, Caitlin, Matthew, and Alissa; her mother, Mary Helen Mele, and stepfather, Joseph Mele; her stepmother, Mary Ann Conner; her half-brothers, Keith and Kevin; and her stepbrother, Daniel. She was preceded in death by her beloved father, Richard Sauer, in 2006. Her strong spirit, warmth, and legacy of service will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the FOP Lodge, located at 248 Castleberry Industrial Drive, Cumming, GA 30040. This will be a casual, drop-in style gathering for friends and family to stop by, share memories, and celebrate Christina's life, with a brief memorial service occurring during the afternoon.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Christina’s memory to the B.A.D.G.E. foundation at www.badgeoffcso.org or to any leukemia foundation.
