Christine Ann Belsito's Obituary
Christine Ann Belsito, age 76, passed away peacefully on February 3, 2026. Born on December 6, 1949, she was the beloved daughter of the late Jean (née Palechka) and Jack Martin.
Above all else, Christine was a devoted wife, a deeply loving mother, and an extraordinary grandmother. Her children, Jason Belsito and Lisa Belsito-Marconi, were the heart of her world. Being their mom was her greatest pride and purpose, and she poured her love, strength, and guidance into them every single day.
Her grandchildren were the true light of her life. Brittany Belsito, Alyssa Belsito, Christian Belsito, Matthew Belsito, Devon Belsito, Gabriella Marconi, Jack Marconi, and Joseph Marconi brought her endless joy. She lived for their laughter, their accomplishments, and the time spent together—whether in life’s biggest moments or its quietest ones. She also carried forever in her heart the memory of her beloved grandson, Lucas Marconi, whom she loved deeply and missed always, and with whom she is now reunited.
Christine shared 52 beautiful years of marriage with her loving husband, Joseph C. Belsito. Joe was her rock and her constant. He loved her fiercely and completely, taking such wonderful care of her throughout their life together, especially in her final years during her illness. His devotion, patience, and unwavering love made him the best caregiver, and a true example of what it means to love with one’s whole being.
Christine is also survived by her siblings, Carol Anna (née Martin) Giziewicz, (Jerome) and Phillip Martin, (Mary). She was preceded in death by her sister, Katie Martin. Family meant everything to Christine, and she treasured the bonds she shared with those she loved.
