Sumter, SC…. Christina Heather Loughrey, age 53, passed away on Friday, November 6, 2026, at her home, surrounded by loved ones.
Christina was born in Quantico, Virginia, to Paul Tassone and the late Cindy Wellwood Delaney. A graduate of Hannibal High School, she later relocated to South Carolina, where she earned her nursing degree from Central Carolina Technical College and became a Registered Nurse. Christina devoted many years to caring for others, working in the emergency room, most recently at Kershaw Health, and spent a significant portion of her nursing career with Fresenius Kidney Care. While she took great pride in her work as a nurse, her greatest joy came from being a loving mother, grandmother, sister, and daughter. Christine loved spending time with her grandchildren.
Left behind to cherish her memory are her daughter, Sara Ray and her husband Cody of Wichita Falls, Texas; her father, Paul Tassone and his wife Karen of Hannibal, NY; her stepfather, Tim Delaney of Sterling, NY; her grandfather, Charles Forbes of Fulton, New York; her brothers, Jason Tassone and his wife Casandra of Dalzell and Jeremy Tassone of Hannibal, New York; her sisters, Michelle Bateman and her husband Dave of Fulton, New York, Alecia Thompson of Beverly Hills, Florida, and Tara Tassone of Weedsport, New York; Uncle Wayne and Aunt Sharon June of Pheonix, NY, and three grandchildren, McKenzie Ray, Emerson Ray, and Noah Ray, all of Wichita Falls, Texas.
In addition to her mother, Cindy Wellwood Delaney, she is preceded in death by her grandfather, Jim Wellwood, and his wife, Shirley Wellwood; and her grandmother, Rita Forbes.
