Christine Elizabeth Wirtz, 55, passed away on October 7,
2015 at St. Agnes Hospital in Fond du Lac.

Anderson Provot. Christine married

Christine was passionate about caring for the littlest among
us. She provided loving care for many
years to day care children, often receiving hugs from former students. Whether you knew Christine for days or years,
you were drawn to her loving and kind personality. Always one to put others before herself, her
warm heart and generous spirit led her to be an organ donor. She was an avid Packers and Cubs fan and
enjoyed her many visits to Wrigley Field.
Christine took great pride in her Norwegian heritage and loved making
lefse, a family favorite.
Christine is survived by her husband, Dan, two daughters,

of Wake Forest, NC, Mary (Mike) Skinner of Shelby, NC and Liz (Dan) Suprenand
of Fond du Lac, WI and two brothers-in-law, Tim (Cindy) Wirtz of Watonga, OK
