Christine Marie Mitchell was born to Johnnie Lee and Frankie Mae Ervin-Mitchell in Austin, Texas. She grew up in the small predominantly black community in North Austin known as the St John Addition. Christine loved her neighborhood and had many, many friends. At a young age, she joined the congregation of Black’s Memorial Missionary Baptist Church under the Pastoral leadership of Reverend Alvin L. Patton Sr. While attending the secondary schools in the Austin Independent School District, Christine caught the eye of Ben E. Green. Several years of courtship and then marriage on July 17, 1973 produced 4 beautiful children over 50 years of togetherness. After marriage to Ben, Christine became a member of the congregation at St. John College Height Missionary Baptist Church with Pastor W. M. Reed and worked with the Health Ministry for some time. She remained a member until the Lord called her to be with him Wednesday, December 29, 2021.
