Kristine A Ehlert
- Age 53,  received her wings  December 8, 2019.   She passed quietly at her home with her precious dog, Fiona, by her side. When Kristine lost her son, Josh in February 2018 by an unfortunate accident, her spirit was shattered beyond repair and her health and heart paid a heavy price.   Her daughter-in-law, Samantha, along with three amazing grandsons Maximus, Michael and Malachi, kept her going and brought her great joy, care and love.   Her best friend, Leo Bueckers loved her and will miss her greatly.   They were companions and friends who helped each other through many years.   Even when she had nothing to spare, she found a way to help others in need.   Kristine was a free spirit with a tremendous heart and  touched many lives. Remember her love,  beauty and her spirit. A celebration of life will be held in the spring.
