SCAREWAY TO HEAVEN
MOURNERS DON SPOOKY GET-UP IN TRIBUTE TO 'QUEEN OF HALLOWEEN' CHRISTINE
by Bradley Stokes

A MUM born on Halloween and obsessed with all things spooky has been given a fitting final scare-well.
Christine Lee's family opted for a witch-themed funeral after the "Queen of Halloween" died of pneumonia at 62, surrounded by family.
Mourners wore makeup, while the funeral celebrant dressed as rocker Alice Cooper and played his music. A horse-drawn hearse — with pumpkin decorations — carried mum-of-two Christine to Worcesters Astwood Cemetery, and she was laid to rest with a sword.
Her daughter Camille, 39, a pallbearer with dad Andrew, 65, said: ‘Mum was a heroic and strong-willed woman with a burning desire to live. It is with great sorrow we laid her to rest before her time. We will always keep mum alive by celebrating her life and birthday; she was the Queen of Halloween."

Today's Mirror report adds that Christine passed away on Christmas Eve and that her wake "was held in nearby Claines at The Mug House — one of Britain's most haunted pubs."
