Christine Cooper Temple, age 74, of Dearborn, passed away at home on Tuesday, January 27th, 2026. Christine was the beloved wife of Richard Temple and mother to three adoring children: Lisa Frank Kosmalski (married to Michael Kosmalski), Lauren Temple Fisher (married to Paul Fisher), and Bradley Temple (married to Lana Pham Temple). Christine was the proud grandmother of 7 grandsons: Ethan and Jacob Frank, and Owen, Simon, George, Joseph, and Samuel Fisher.

Christine was raised in Detroit and graduated from Cody High School in 1969. She wrote the following in school, "I think everything is worth learning and understanding. Education is a key that everyone is trying to grasp hold of. For me, education is the way from ignorance, and the way to caring about people. Education, formal or not, is the way to knowing, understanding, and helping our fellow man." Christine believed this all her life.

Christine held a bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan. She served the people of Detroit and Wayne County as an adult protective services social worker for the State of Michigan. Christine had a passion for social justice. Even in retirement, Christine advocated for human rights, freedom, and equality.

Christine was a talented artist and spent her life pursuing creative outlets: sewing, painting, drawing, making jewelry, and decorating. She had an eye for color and an impeccable sense of style. She was a life-long reader of science fiction and fantasy. She had a green thumb and tended a peaceful garden.
