Christine B. Measell

Christine B. Measell, 73, of Syracuse, N.Y., passed away on Thursday, July 2, 2026, after a short illness.

Chris was born on July 23, 1952, in Queens, N.Y., and was the daughter of the late Annemarie Lorenz and Howard L. Measell Jr.

She graduated from Garden City High School and received a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Syracuse University. She also earned a certificate in Management Information Systems from Le Moyne College.

Chris started her career with the Syracuse University Library System and eventually became a dispatcher, customer service and sales representative, operations assistant, and customer service supervisor with Time Warner and Spectrum Cable Systems and their predecessor companies.

She enjoyed reading, solving the N.Y. Times Connections puzzles, gardening, anything Italian, traveling to Europe, Syracuse University Women's Lacrosse, and spending time with friends and family.
