Anne C. Choporis, 70, known to her family and friends as “Christina”, passed away peacefully at her home in Waldorf, MD on June 27, 2026. She was born June 30, 1955 in Leonardtown, MD to her parents Demosthenes Paul Choporis and JoAnne Greenwell Choporis and was the fourth of six children.
Christina was a devout Catholic and attended Church at Our Lady Help of Christians Catholic Church in Waldorf, MD.
She attended grade school at Father Andrew White, S.J. School after which she attended St. Mary’s Academy to finish out her high school years. Both schools were located in Leonardtown, MD. Following high school graduation, she attended Spalding University, Louisville, Kentucky, where she received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing.
After receiving her Nursing degree, she worked as a registered nurse for over 40 years. Through those years she worked at Southern Maryland Hospital Center as a Nursing Supervisor and lastly, at Calvert Health Medical Center in various departments where she eventually retired in 2019.
Christina loved flowers, gardening, traveling, antiques and thrifting. She loved collecting linens, embroidered hand towels, pillowcases and handkerchiefs especially if they had roses and flowers on them. One of her favorite pastimes was hiking in the woods admiring wildflowers. She was also an animal lover and had adopted a stray cat in her back yard which was named “Pumpkin”.
She had a kind and thoughtful heart, always paying attention to the little things that made people smile. Christina remembered what others loved and enjoyed and would often share her treasured thrift store finds with family and friends, knowing she had found something that was just right for them.
