Obituary of Christina Lynn Mendibles

The beloved Christina Lynn Saldana Mendibles died on September 24th, 2023. She was born on April 2nd, 1981 to Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Saldana Sr. in Bridgeton, NJ.

She welcomed and raised her four children, whom she adored, with Robert Mendibles of Vineland and is predeceased by her only son, Jake Jelani Mendibles; who passed on December 11th, 2021.

Her cooking encompassed generations of love, from her great grandmother Edna Mae, to her mother-in-law Sylvia, to her own mom. She beautified the world as a cosmetologist, from her family to her clients. She was cunning, strong, and intentionally left her mark on this world. She is loved beyond words. It is only right that she is finally at rest with her son.
