As a friend and 1969 classmate of Chris, many memories are left to be savored and remembered with great love! She was a real friend! She was there when you needed her and fun was a part of her life. So special and will be remembered as an angel among us! RIP Christine! You will be missed.

Chris never met a stranger. She could speak easily with everyone she encountered. She came up to me on the first day of our freshman year at Beloit Catholic High in our homeroom class and introduced herself. That was nearly 60 years ago. We became friends in high school and our friendship continued after graduation, her move to Madison, my move to Texas. When I moved back to Wisconsin, we picked up our friendship where we left off and I believe the effortlessness of that was due to Chris’s big heart and kind nature. I treasured her friendship and have great memories of movies, shopping, and meals we have shared. Her encyclopedic knowledge is legendary! I will remember her laugh, her smile, and her empathy. My condolences to her husband Jeff, her siblings, and her entire extended family. May loving memories of Chris be a blessing.

Aunt Chris was a wonderful person. She always made you comfortable and was a pleasure to be around. She was hands-down one of the nicest and funniest people in our family and we will always remember her smile and laughter. She will be greatly missed. Love always, The Gorecki’s
