Christine Joyce Pepper

Christine Joyce Pepper of Tabernacle passed away on Friday, August 3, 2018 at the Samaritan Hospice Inpatient Unit in Voorhees surrounded by her family. She was 66. Born in Mount Holly, Christine was a graduate of Lenape High School. Her passion for corvettes started early, as she was Atco Raceway’s Powderpuff Derby Queen at age 17. That passion continued as she owned many corvettes through the years in many different colors. She also had a great passion for animals, specifically French Bull Dogs. When she was a little girl she used to dress up her cats in doll clothes and walk them around in doll carriages. Over the years Chris had owned Bassett Hounds and Beagles. These dogs were treated like her children. Chris also had a strong faith and enjoyed going to church. She was a practicing Pentecostal who loved sharing His message. She worked in all kinds of jobs throughout her life: a hairdresser, landscaper, manager of a plant nursery and even a union laborer on a bridge building crew. She made that pink construction hat look good. Her last job was for Occupational Training Center helping those suffering from mental disabilities. Chris was known best for being a “GIVER”. She had a knack for gifting little trinkets to everyone in beautifully decorated packages. These gifts were special because they had some unique meaning in her relationship to the recipient. She always put everyone else first. The daughter of the late Samuel Pepper, Christine is survived by her mother Miriam Pepper of Tabernacle; brother and sister-in-law: Sam & Sherri Pepper of Tabernacle; sister and brother-in-law: Crystal & Jeff Davis of Mount Laurel; her loved nieces and nephews: Samatha Pepper, Samuel Pepper, Sgt Hunter (Chelsea) Pepper USMC, Kevin Noecker, & Nash Noecker – Submariner US Navy; longtime friend: Leandro Perez. Graveside services at Junior Mechanics Cemetery in Tabernacle are scheduled for Saturday, August 18, 2018 at 11am. Contributions in her memory may be made to either Samaritan Healthcare and Hospice, 5 Eves Dr., Suite 300, Marlton, NJ 08053 or to Heaven Sent Bull Dog Rescue at www.HeavenSentbulldogrescue.com
