It is with heavy heart to announce that Christina Renee Perkins (age 46) passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 10, 2025 after facing many health challenges.

Christina was a preemie baby born in San Francisco on September 14, 1978 to Ramona Schildan and Noman Perkins. She grew up her whole life in Humboldt County. Throughout her life, she was always into whatever her four older brothers were into. She went from playing with hot wheels to riding in hot rods. She also loved woodworking, especially creating beautiful wooden vases, tables, and signs. The beach was always one of her favorite escapes, she loved to look for agates and had quite the collection. Her favorite beaches were Pebble Beach (Del Norte) and Dry Lagoon (Humboldt). Christina also really enjoyed playing pool, she was a part of the group called “Humboldt Pool Players” and she competed in many local tournaments. Although Christina was a tiny lady all her life she had the largest personality. She was very outgoing, definitely the life of the party, and she always had so much love to give!

Christina leaves behind seven children — Ashley, Tyler, Austin, Justin, Tayia, Lacey, and Kylee — as well as three grandchildren, Ezekiel, Ryland and Aiyanna. Her children and grandchildren were her best friends, true loves, and her biggest achievements in life. She showed all of them how to be strong, no matter what life throws their way.

The family would like to thank everyone from Hospice Of Humboldt and Fortuna Rehabilitation And Wellness Center for helping care for her over the last couple of years.

A celebration of life will be held in June at “Swimmers Delight,” which was one of Christina‘s favorite places to spend time with her family. If you were close with Christina and would like more details, please contact her daughter Ashley or her mother Ramona.
