Christal A. Pease

Christal A. (Christensen) Pease, of Tolland CT, formerly of Vernon, CT passed away peacefully surrounded by her family on Tuesday, April 30, 2024. Christal was born in Stafford, CT on February 12, 1953, to the late Christian C. and Beverly (Hatt) Christensen. Christal graduated from Rockville High School in 1971. She married her late ex-husband Michael D. Pease in 1972 and raised three children together. Christal worked in accounting for many years in the real estate and management professions. Although she worked up until 2022, her main job was always her family. Christal took her job as Gramma very seriously and attended school events, concerts, and plays. Most notably was her dedication to her grandson Mason’s football games in Tolland, attending in all weather conditions to see him play. Christal was also an avid baker. Well known for her famous cookies, cheesecakes, and bars, she never showed up to a family event without an array of goodies. They even earned her the nickname Auntie Cookie by some of the littlest great-nephews. Christal also loved to buy her grandkids outfits for all the holidays. She also had a special love for dogs and loved being a dog-sitter for her sister Janice’s dogs, especially Toby. Christal loved country music and attended many concerts over the years. In 2018, she started her courageous battle with breast cancer. Despite years of treatment, she never complained and carried on living life to its fullest. Christal is survived by her three children, Michael D. Pease, Jr. and his partner Kara Trosen, Jonathan Pease and his wife LaDonna, and Amber Bouley and her partner Bob Burrows. Her siblings; Sheryl Champagne and her husband Roy, Dawn Thibodeau and her husband Dan, Douglas Christensen, and Janice Niemczyk; sister-in-law Cheryl Christensen and many nieces, nephews, and cousins. Three grandchildren; Kady Bouley, Mason Pease, and Parker Burrows. Her extended family; Olivia and Sophie Trosen, Shelbie Greene and her sons Loxley and Leighton, and Jaylin Greene.
