Kristyne Rhodes Cortes, daughter of the late Harry L. and Marion Tripp Rhodes, passed away on December 6. She was fortunate to have been raised with siblings William H. Rhodes, Sally Rhodes Hamer and the late Elaine Rhodes Butler.

She will be remembered by those who knew her for her expansive heart and generous spirit. From feeding wildlife in her backyard to knitting and sewing for the benefit of others, Kristyne was always finding ways to give.

She is survived by her daughters Susan Sequeira and her husband Buzz of Buzzards Bay, and Sandra Cortes and her husband Scott Mathes of Guilford, Vermont; her grandchildren, Morgan of Honeoye Falls, New York; Elisabeth, Christine, Xavier, and Gabriel Sequeira of Buzzards Bay; and Tenzin and Sam Mathes of Guilford, Vermont. She also leaves her stepson, Jeffrey DeSenna of San Diego, California and niece April Butler Demoranville of Wareham, and her dearest friend Donald H. Bagley of Rochester.

A celebration of life will be held from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, December 20, at the Chapman, Cole & Gleason Funeral Home, 2599 Cranberry Hwy., Wareham. Burial will be private.

In lieu of flowers a donation to a local food pantry and/or a cat shelter would be greatly appreciated.
