After finishing school, Christine worked at various jobs in Niagara Falls and also helped her mother with the craft of basket making. She met Ray Fadden, and on Oct. 30, 1935, they were married. They set up housekeeping on the Tuscarora Reservation, where Ray taught school. During the late summer/early fall of 1938 they moved to Akwesasne, where Ray began teaching at the elementary school in that community.

They had one son, John, married to Eva Thompson. Christine had three grandsons: Donald, David and Daniel. She also had five great-grandchildren: Wishe, Ian, Evan, Hailey and Amber.
