Christine D. Chain

Christine Chain (nee Duncheskie) passed away at the age of 72 on Wednesday, April 3, 2024, following a valiant struggle with cancer. 

Mrs. Chain, a devoted wife, mother, friend and caretaker to her late husband, is survived by her loving sons, William John (BJ) and Matthew; daughters-in-law, Vanessa and Susan; grandchildren, William Thomas, Victoria, Alexandria and Elizabeth: her brother, John and countless nieces, nephews and dear friends.  Mrs. Chain, originally of Shamokin, Pennsylvania, graduated from Ridley High School and the Lankenau Hospital School of Nursing and spent most of her adult life on the Main Line.  She began her career as a nurse and elected to be a full-time mom to her children before eventually embarking on a long career assisting her husband Dr. William T. Chain Jr. in providing compassionate medical care to local residents.  Mrs. Chain will be fondly remembered for her unparalleled generosity and steadfast willingness to help.  She will be especially missed at Christmas, as she was deeply passionate and went to incredible lengths to make the holidays special for her family and loved ones.
