Christiana Fesmire, 22, was taken from this world on the morning of July 1, 2011 in Lewiston, ME. Born in Concord, NH on December 17th 1988, she was the daughter of Chester, Jr. and Deborah (Schieber) Fesmire.

Christiana spent the first four years of her life in New Hampshire before her family moved to Pennsylvania, where both of her parents were from. They moved to Maine in 1997 and she then attended, and graduated from Great Salt Bay School. She would go on to Lincoln Academy and Coastal Christian School before completing high school in 2007.

Christiana was very athletic and always kept active and ate healthy. She participated in cross-country while in school, but out of school she loved biking and snowboarding. Christiana was a very creative person who enjoyed painting and cooking. She also loved music, and could occasionally be found helping DJ different events.

Christiana was very charismatic and had a great sense of humor. Her positive energy and ability to embrace others will be sorely missed by all that knew and loved her.

She was predeceased by her grandfather, Chester Fesmire, Sr. who passed away last November.

Her brilliant smile will be forever missed by her parents, Chester, Jr. and Deborah Fesmire; 2 brothers, Andrew Fesmire and Nicholas Fesmire; 1 sister, Katrin Fesmire; grandparents, William and Aileen Schieber and Doris Fesmire; aunts and uncles, Mark Schieber and his wife Debbie Jo, Tim Schieber and his wife Roseanne, Jessica Blackburn and her husband Tom, Betsyanne Crabb and her husband Joseph, and Pamela Greene and her husband Robert; nephew, Adam Fesmire; as well as 13 cousins.
