ABOUT CHRISTINA

A life remembered

Christina K. D’Ettorre

In loving memory · September 10, 2022

Kindness, humor, generosity, and faith. These are the qualities her family and friends remember—and the spirit behind our foundation.

Christina passed away at age 52 following a year-long battle with cancer. She shared 25 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Kevin B. Leslie, and cherished time with family and friends at the shore in Ocean City, New Jersey.

Her career began in beer distribution in the early 1990s at Lamb Beverage, where she became president and owner. After selling the business in 2006, she became a co-owner of Muller, Inc., serving as corporate secretary, vice president, and director.

Chris loved animals and supported many animal charities throughout her life. She was also an active supporter of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Her foundation carries that generosity forward.
