Christine Martin Foley, 72, passed away peacefully on January 25, 2026.

Christine was born on May 28, 1953. She grew up in Vidalia, Louisiana and spent most of her adult life in Natchez, Mississippi, where she and her husband, Bill, raised their family. Later in life, she and Bill relocated to Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

A devoted wife and mother, Christine was a stay-at-home mom who poured her life into caring for her family. Her love, steadiness, and quiet strength shaped the home she built and the people she raised. She found purpose in being present for her children and later took great joy in her role as a grandmother.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Francis Martin, Jr., and Camille Rogers Harris; her grandmother, Delia Meng Martin; and her brother, Steven Howell Martin.

She is survived by her husband of 53 years, William B. Foley of Hattiesburg; her children, Emily Foley Hall of Hattiesburg, William Foley of Hattiesburg, and Courtland Foley and his wife Laura of Madisonville, LA; and her three grandchildren, Caden Foley, Ashlyn Foley, and Alex Hall, who were a constant source of pride and joy.  She is also survived by her siblings, Frank Martin of Baton Rouge, LA, Michael Martin of Vidalia, LA, Cammie Martin of Memphis, TN, Maria Henwood and her husband Jim of Fort Lauderdale, FL, and Emily Eidt and her husband JoJo of Natchez.

Visitation will be held on Friday, January 30, 2026 at 1 p.m., followed by a memorial service at 2 p.m., all at St. Fabian Catholic Church in Hattiesburg.
