Christine M. (Guido) Carbone

Mrs. Christine M. (Guido) Carbone, age 45, a native Utican, and currently of Winter Garden, Florida went home to be with the Lord on September 25, 2012 after 203 days of hospitalization at Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, with the love and support of her family and friends by her side. Christine was born in New Hartford, New York on September 19, 1967, the daughter of Richard Anthony and Rose Marie (Gemedschiew) Guido. Raised and educated in Utica, she attended T.R. Proctor High School and graduated with the Class of 1985. She furthered her studies at Herkimer Community College and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in 1989. On October 24, 1998 she married Richie Carbone. Richie and Christine shared a very special bond and a reciprocal love for each other. Richie cherished her smile. Christine appreciated his ability to respect her, to love her so deeply, his never ending devotion to her, and his ability and desire to make her happy. Their love was truly a match made in heaven. Christine began her career as a videographer at WUTR in Utica, then worked for AFSA (ACS), and then began an 18 year career as a Sales Agent for Disney World. Everyone can agree that this is when her love affair began with "MICKEY." Christine loved life. She always had a smile on her face. As sick as she was, she never complained. She met the challenges that came from her illness in stride. She had a God given zest for life. Christine is survived by her husband Richie Carbone of FL; her parents Richard A. and Rose Marie Guido of Utica; her brother Richard A. Guido, Jr. of Ithaca. Always close to her heart was the memory of her brother, Michael J. Guido who passed away on May 11, 2012. Also surviving are her sister-in-law, Tracey Guido; maternal grandmother, Eugenia Gemedschiew; paternal grandmother Amelia (Testa) Guido; her mother-in-law Carol Ann Carbone; in-laws, Raymond and Donna Florio; cherished aunts, uncles, cousins, and her nephew. She was predeceased by her grandparents, Gregor Gemedschiew, Flamino "Flam" and Anna Guido; and her uncle Gregory Gemedschiew. Relatives and friends are respectfully invited to attend Christine’s Memorial Service which will commence on Saturday morning at 11:00 at St. Anthony and St. Agnes Church. Interment took place in Woodlawn Memorial Park in Florida. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Eannace Funeral Home, Inc., 932 South St., corner of Hammond Ave.
