Christine McPhetridge, age 81 of Kingsport, passed away on April 17, 2025. Christine was born on June 6, 1943, in Bluff City, Tn to Issac A. Wassom and Ruth Royston Wassom. Christine worked as a teacher and later a guidance counselor for Colonial Heights Middle School.

Christine and her late husband Mack were active in several car clubs where they had lots of adventures and enjoyed meeting new friends and enthusiasts through First TN Regional Mustang Club, First TN Restorer’s Club, Antique Automobile Club of America, and the National Model A Restorers Club of America.

Fittingly, she passed away on Maundy Thursday which marks service to others and the commandment to love one another. She faithfully and willingly cared for both her mother and mother-in-law in their final years.

Christine will be remembered for her love of family, friends, cats, and horses. We will all miss her dearly.

She is survived by her daughter Lori Parsons; son-in-law Nick Parsons; and granddaughter Natalie Parsons.

In remembrance, please donate to a charity of your choice.

As Christine requested there will be no funeral services. However, you are cordially invited to attend a brief graveside service on Thursday, May 1, 2025, at 11:00 am at the mausoleum in Oak Hill Memorial Park.

Carter-Trent Funeral Home in Kingsport is serving the McPhetridge family.
