Christina Watson Brooks
October 21, 1951 – October 6, 2023
After a long hard battle with dementia, Christina Watson Brooks, 71, of Henrico County, passed away on Friday, October 6, 2023, at Autumn Care of Mechanicsville.
Christina’s four children, grandchildren, sister, and daughter-in-law were all by her side. She was preceded in death by her husband, William L. Brooks, her mother, Marie V. Watson; and her father, Robert E. Watson.
Christina was born in Rotterdam, Holland to Robert E. Watson and Marie V. Watson. She grew up with three sisters. Yvonne (Cathi), Renee, Nanette (Bobby), and one brother Rob (Adrien). She married William L. Brooks in April of 1971 and had four kids whom she loved with every fiber of her being. Christopher (Michele), Stacie (Steve), Jamie (James) Snead, and Jeremy (Andraya). She was a loving and amazing grandmother to eight grandchildren that she absolutely adored. Stephon Hicks, Desmond Hicks, Olivia Brooks, Jared Brooks, Gavin Brooks, Van Brooks, Jayden, and Ciara Snead.
Christina was the strongest, most loving, patient, kind, and caring person. To know her was to love her. The sweetest person you would ever meet. She was a role model to many, a caregiver to anyone who was in her life, and a mother figure to all. She spent her entire life taking care of her kids, grandkids, and the children at the preschool where she taught. She was an Angel way before she left us. She was ” Practically Perfect in Every Way” and will be missed immensely by her children, family, and friends.

Miss Christy was one-of-a-kind and it was a pleasure working together at Saxon. Condolences to her family ❤️
Enjoyed Christine as a neighbor. She was alway kind and we enjoyed our moments together.
I’ll never forget all of the laughs we shared working at Saxon Shoes. She was always so helpful, caring, patient, and loving. Christy truly had a heart of gold and I’m grateful for every moment I was able to share with her.
Thinking of the whole family as they mourn such a difficult loss.
Our deepest condolences to the family. May she rest in peace.
Miss Christy was one of the first people I met working at Saxon and she always made me feel welcome. One of the kindest, most genuine people I’ve ever met. She will be missed by all of people she impacted by her caring heart.
