She continued to work at the Poyry PLC headquarters in Helinski when she transferred to its United States headquarters in 1999, finishing her career with the Company in 2010.

Kristina enjoyed volunteering especially for various animal rescue organizations, gardening, crossword puzzles and traveling.

Kristina is also survived by her brother Harri, her sister Eva and her children along with the other extended family members who reside in Finland.

Kristina was predeceased by her parents, Raili Marjatta and Yrjo Olavi Lehtinen.

Kristina is dearly missed by everyone that knew her:

She loved blue, in any shade and new shoes.

She was always happy and quick to smile.

She always expressed great love for her husband and how lucky she was to have him in her life.   

She loved her daughter, family, friends, and dogs!

She would always say, "still alive and kicking." 

She never let her pain or fears of what was happening next slow her down or diminish her spirit.

She was wonderful, kind hearten woman!

Kristina finally has peace!

God Bless Kristina and all of us!!!
