Central, LA - Christina Louise (nee Tumey) Cardona slipped quietly into eternity on July 16, 2026.

Christina is survived by her children, including her son Kai and his wife, Taylor, and her daughters Kacey and Kayley. She is also survived by her mother, Nancy Tumey, and her siblings, Michael Tumey, Maren Elfaki, Matthew Tumey, Lauren Bourque, Bryan Tumey, and Ryan Tumey. She was preceded in death by her father, Donald E. Tumey. Her family was central to her life, and the bond she shared with them was one of her greatest blessings.

Christina worked for the State of Louisiana for the last 25 years at the Office of Administration where she was Manager of Human Resources. Christina enjoyed the challenges presented by her position and treasured the friendships she made there.

Dedicated to her job, she continued to work during her treatment for cancer, finally retiring at the beginning of 2026.

Outside of work Christina found joy in life's simple pleasures. She preferred a quiet life, spending time with her children, friends, and family, enjoying dinners out, watching movies, and playing games online.

She found her greatest happiness in spending time with her family, and the love she shared with them will continue to live on in the countless memories they will forever hold close. Above all else, she loved her children and was immensely proud of the adults they have become.

No public services are scheduled. A private celebration of life will be held with family and close friends.
