Christine Elaine (Newhall) Westcoat, 63, lifelong resident of Taunton, MA passed away in Boston on November 18, 2013 with family by her side following a courageous but far too brief battle with cancer. Christine, daughter of the late Harold and Marion (Brady) Newhall and loving wife of the late James "Cricket" Westcoat, is survived by her son, Eliot Westcoat of Boston, MA, her daughter, Stacy Moreton, and her husband Donald and was the loving grandmother of Joseph and Cooper Moreton of Taunton. She was sister to the late William "Billy" Newhall and is survived by three brothers, Harold Newhall of Florida, Robert Newhall of East Taunton, Michael Newhall of South Yarmouth and three sisters, Margaret Neville of South Dartmouth, Geraldine Newhall and Rosemarie Newhall, both of Taunton, along with several nieces and nephews. Christine was educated in Taunton schools and graduated from Taunton High School. Christine was a communicant of Holy Family Church in East Taunton. For the last eight years, she worked alongside her daughter Stacy, operating a daycare business where she was loved by all of the children. Prior to her employment at the daycare, she fulfilled a longtime dream of opening her own craft store, The Corner Treasure Shoppe, in East Taunton. For several years before owning her own business, she was the Sales and Office Manager at Ad-A-Day Co. in Taunton. She enjoyed country music, baking and crafts, but most important to her was caring for her family and loved ones. Anybody who came in contact with her knew her to be a caring, thoughtful and kind person who put other's needs before her own. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
