Saratoga Springs, NY - Christa Anna Boden (Schubert), 77, passed away peacefully Saturday January 11, 2025, surrounded by immediate family and her beloved caregiver and friend Bonnie after a long battle with dementia.  Born December 7, 1947, in Bremen, Germany, she was the daughter of the late Hans and Lisa (Zettel) Schubert of Bellmore, Long Island.

A beloved and devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, sister-in-law, aunt and friend, she was predeceased by her loving husband of 46 years, Robert (Bob) Boden, and her brother and sister, Thomas and Barbel Schubert. She is survived by her children Jennifer Boden Cerone (Bruce) of Saratoga Springs, Megan Boden (Tom Nigro) of Saratoga Springs, Marybeth Boden Cook (Burke) of Daniel Island, SC.; five grandchildren Spencer Patterson, Boden and McClain Cook; Sage Cerone Byrne (Brian), Matt Cerone; two great grandchildren Grace and Alice Byrne; her brother and sisters in-law, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Christa moved to the United States with her family in elementary school. She graduated from Bellmore High School and began her career of service working for the United Nations. She married her high school sweetheart, Bob, and they went on to have three daughters. After they were born, she left work to devote herself to raising them. Once they were grown, she returned to work and was an administrative assistant for the Westport school district. After her and Bob moved to Saratoga Springs, NY, she embarked on a career in real estate, made guest appearances hosting at Pennell's Restaurant, and was a member of Friends of Saratoga County animal shelter.  She loved travelling and spending time with her grandchildren. She enjoyed spending evenings with her husband and good friends at Pennell's Restaurant and Saratoga National and having lunch with her many friends. She recently had moved to South Carolina where she was able to spend time with her youngest grandchildren, experience southern hospitality, and made many wonderful new friends.

Christa dedicated her life to her family, she gave her heart and soul tending to the wellbeing of her husband, children and grandchildren. She is finally at peace after a long courageous battle.  We know she cherished her final days having her three daughters all together with her one last time. Her telltale facial expressions will be forever imprinted in our hearts and minds and her absence will be felt by many.
