Christine E.  Jordan, 79, of Madison Heights, Virginia, entered eternal rest on Thursday, May 20, 2020 at her residence. She was born November 15, 1940 to the late Rufus R. and Goldie (Mosby) Rucker in Amherst County, Virginia.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband Robert L. Jordan Sr. of 53 years; three sisters Hester Rucker, Josephine Plummer and Gladys Kelly; and four brothers-in-law, Lester Bradley, Thomas Snead, Allen Kelly and Leroy Morgan.

Christine accepted Christ at an early age. She was baptized and joined the Ivy Hill Baptist Church, in Naola, Virginia.  Upon marriage she joined the Rose Chapel Baptist Church in Madison Heights, Virginia where she has been a faithful member until her death.  She was an active member of the Rose Chapel Baptist Church where she taught Sunday School, served as the head of the Prison Ministry, oversaw the Meals on Wheels Program, served in leadership or key roles on the Ladies Aid, Missionary, and OASIS ministries, and many other auxiliaries.

Christine was a loving, caring, and devoted wife, mother, grandma, and great-grandma (Me-Maw-Maw).

Christine is survived by one devoted daughter, Kathy Jordan of Huntsville Alabama; two loving sons

Robert Jordan Jr (Phillina) of Lynchburg, and Troy Jordan of Madison Heights; one brother, Theodore Rucker (Gaynelle); three sisters, Florence Bradley of Lynchburg, Margaret "Susie" Snead of

Lynchburg, and Ophelia "Fee" Morgan of Richmond; one brother-in-law, John W. Plummer of Virginia

Beach; four grandchildren, Dwan Paige (Katrina), Shaun Wilson (Diana), Jeremy Bell, Jasmine Jordan, two bonus granddaughters Shartice "Ticey" Giles and "Sharquia "Kia" Thomas ; six great-grandchildren, Xavier, Isaiah, and Na'Kyla (Bell), Maddison, Olivia, and Benjamin (Wilson), a bonus great-grandson Bradley Kloepfer, a host of nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends.

Christine was a spirit-filled Christian that did not mind letting you know who she served and who she put her trust in – a Child of God who lived her life to serve.  God picked the most beautiful angel to bring home.  Her children believed that she believed a strong woman is one who gives selfless and loves wholeheartedly.  She is not afraid to be bold. A strong woman is courageous.  She is able to hope when things look hopeless. A strong woman in her essence is a gift to all the world-a strong woman just like Christine.

She would always say, when you are going through something hard and wonder where God is, remember the teacher is always quiet during the test.
