Christina Downey

Christina Downey, age 61 Versailles passed away early on Monday March 25, 2024 in Louisville, Kentucky. She was born in Cincinnati, Ohio on October 7, 1962, the daughter of Robert and Judy Swift.

Early in her childhood the family moved to Detroit, Michigan where she grew up. She attended Denby High School on the north side of Detroit. After high school she entered the workforce. Life would take a major shift when she moved to be closer to her brother in North Vernon, IN.

The year was 1998 and she was working at Nac manufacturing. Little did she know she would meet and eventually marry Allen Downey. They quickly fell in love and have spent the last 26 years side by side. She enjoyed crocheting, quilting, and enjoyed relaxing playing coloring games on her phone. Often she could be found trying to figure out a Sudoku book.
