Christina Malisoff, aged 56, passed away April 19, 2015 at Saint Peter's Hospital in Albany after a heroic battle with cancer. She was born in New York City and was a longtime resident of Germantown and Hudson and was beloved by many. She was an artist, a nurse, a gardener, a community organizer and activist, and for nine years served on the programming staff at the Hudson Opera House. Christina was a peaceful warrior, a powerful person, and knew how to hold her ground. She was a mentor and influence to countless young people. Prior to her time at HOH, Christina was a nurse at Columbia Memorial Hospital, a waitress at The Paramount in Hudson, and worked at Frank Swim Antiques on Warren Street. She was an active volunteer in the community, especially with the Hudson Community Garden, Operation Unite, Animalkind and WGXC. She hosted "Tell It Like It Is" on the radio, and helped with other shows, and made recordings of local meetings and events. Everyone who knew her knows she was an amazing, compassionate, loving, caring, profoundly generous human being and she made the planet better everywhere she went. She is survived by a sister, Dawn, of Philadelphia and her longtime friend and companion Doug Clow. A celebration of Christina's life will take place at the Hudson Opera House on Sunday, May 24th at 11am. Feel free to bring a dish to share.
