Christine’s Obituary Christine M. Jansson of Onalaska and Bradenton, FL, passed away on Monday, January 21, 2019 at the Lakewood Ranch Medical Center in Bradenton, FL. She was born September 1, 1947 in Pittsburgh, PA to Andrew and Laura (Smyczek) Price. On October 12, 1968 she married Dwain Jansson in Rock Island, IL.

Together they raised two boys, Peter who was born December 26, 1969 and Erik who was born on November 15, 1973.
