Christine Russell (1949-2025: In Memoriam)
Christine Russell was a pivotal member of Bulamu Healthcare’s Board of Directors from 2017 until she passed away in July 2025. Professionally, Christine was a CFO at multiple technology companies in Silicon Valley and was one of the earliest women to serve in the CFO role. She shared a passion for Bulamu’s mission as an early supporter through her friendship with our late co-founder Jim Balassone.
“The challenge for all whom Chris left behind: her husband, family, friends, colleagues, and those whom she touched in daily life and through her volunteer work, is to carry forward her eternal flame of: optimism, good cheer, and a can-do spirit. In this way Christine Russell’s memory will never fade.” – From Christine Russell’s memorial
On behalf of Bulamu Healthcare’s Board of Directors and team, we express our deepest condolences for Christine Russell and our gratitude for her years of service to many organizations, through which she served and improved many thousands of lives.
