A Death Has Been Announced
In Loving Memory of Christina Adams
Age 48 Passed 1 November 2026
Christina was born and raised in Clifton on Cape Town's Atlantic Seaboard, and never lived far from the sea she loved. For more than twenty years she worked in marketing — first at a small agency in Green Point, and later leading a team that will remember her for her warmth, her honesty and her laugh that filled a room. Outside work she was a keen reader, a Sunday-morning swimmer at Fourth Beach, and the person everyone called when they needed advice.
She is survived by her husband, Daniel, their children, Liam (16) and Ava (12), her mother, Rose, and her brother, Michael.
Everything you need is on this page: the times and places of the prayers, the memorial service, the funeral and the burial, directions, the livestream for those who cannot travel, and how to support the family. Please follow this announcement — we will post any changes here first.
In place of flowers, the family welcomes contributions to Liam and Ava's education fund. Details are under "Updates" below.
