Christine L. (Roman) Bakalon

Of North Versailles, age 72, passed away peacefully in her home on Monday, January 26, 2026.

Born the daughter of the late John G. Roman and the late Laura (Pogozelski) Roman.

Loving sister of Robert (Peggy) Roman, the late Gerald (surviving spouse, Pat) Roman, and the late John (surviving spouse, Linda) Roman.

Adored aunt of Mary (Joe) Strednak, Lori Palarino, Bobby (the late Rhea) Roman, Johnny (Erin) Roman, Danny (Megan) Roman, Keith Roman, and Jerry Roman.

Also survived by her cousin, Donna (Benjamin) Castor, great nieces and great nephews, along with her lifelong friends, Debbie Crnkovic, Mary Carney, and Anne Blotzer.

Chrissy was employed with Mine Safety for a commendable 37-years as an administrative aid, and was known for her unwavering dedication to her work and the people she served.

Outside of her professional achievements, Chrissy's interests were as vibrant and engaging as her personality. Chrissy found joy in playing cards and bingo, and her love for oldies music was well-known.  She was an animal lover and fondly cared for her late dog, Elvis.  Chrissy's zest for life extended to her love of shopping and taking bus trips, activities that allowed her to explore and enjoy the world around her.  Chrissy especially treasured her annual summer vacation to Ocean City, NJ, one of her favorite destinations since childhood.    

Those who knew Chrissy will remember her as a loving, kind, and friendly soul who approached life with an open heart. She had the rare ability to make everyone feel like they mattered, and her presence was a gift to those who experienced it.
