Christine Buck Obituary

Christine "Chris" Ann Buck (nee Stelzl) was reunited with the love of her life when she passed away on Sunday, June 11th, 2023.

Chris was born to (the late) Joseph W. and Beverly J. Stelzl on May 4, 1955, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She was a 1973 graduate of Messmer High School. She then attended Cardinal Stritch University, studying art.

She met a willey, young man, Bruce Buck, and in him, she found her other half. Bruce and Chris got married on September 16, 1978 and were inseparable until Bruce's passing in November of 2005. During their beautiful marriage, they had a daughter, Sarah, in 1989 and built their home in Sussex, Wisconsin where Chris remained until 2020.

Chris moved to Hartland, Wisconsin in 2020 then to Cross Plains, Wisconsin in 2023 to be closer to Sarah, her son-in-law, Steve, and beautiful granddaughter, Jaylah Wren, born in 2022. Jaylah was Chris's treasure. She loved and looked forward to seeing and playing with Jaylah every chance she got. "Raspberries for my Sweet Girl".
