Obituary for Christine Marie Taylor Sprowl Tetak
Aloha, Christine Marie Taylor Sprowl Tetak, 72 of Hawi, HI, passed away on February 15, 2020 in Honolulu, HI surrounded in love by her devoted husband, children, and niece. She was born on June 28, 1947 in Santa Monica, CA.
Christine lived a full beautiful life. From when she was little girl she always wanted to have a family. She joyfully raised three children in the mountains of Los Gatos, CA. She loved family gatherings and was always ready with homemade pies, a honey baked ham, or delicious turkey, and don’t forget her amazing gravy! After her children were in school she pursued her life long love of learning. She graduated with a BS in Health Science, continued to earn a Masters in Public Administration, and then received her teaching credential. She became a teacher and wrote many stories for her students to enthuse and inspire them to be avid readers and writers. One of these stories became her published children’s book, Legend of the HULA MOOSE. Continuing to pursue her dreams she married a wonderful man, Bob Tetak, and they moved to an island paradise, Hawi, HI. She lived every day fully, breathing in the fresh Hawaiian air, helping to manage Hula Moose Farm where they grow apple bananas, papayas, lilikoi, lemons, limes, avocadoes, and Hawaiian hot peppers while taking care of their horses, Lacey and Puakea, and sweet dog Bella.
She is survived by her spouse, Bob Tetak, ex-spouse Allen Sprowl, son, Ryan Sprowl, daughters, Kelly Tavarez (Robert) and Amy Gibson (Scott), step kids, John Tetak, Daniel Tetak (Jeanette), Jami Dahl (Owen), sister, Katherine Palmer (Gordon), niece, Heather Young, nephew Troy Young, cousins, Steven Brackett (Margaret) and Bob Brackett, grandchildren, Matthew Sprowl, Alexander Tavarez, Br. Grant Tavarez, Jacqueline Tavarez, Christian Sprowl, George Tavarez, Makayla Bush, Maximilian Tavarez, Miles Bush, Bernadette Tavarez, Mary Tavarez, Blaise Tavarez, and Sophia Tavarez.
We will miss your beautiful smile! A hui hou kakou (until we meet again)
