Obituary of Christine Frances Kelly

Chris was born in South Tacoma on July 23, 1963 to Jim and Sue Berger and moved to Lakewood when she was 4 years old. Chris was involved in the family business (Berger's Texaco) from an early age where she learned accounting, customer service, sales, and her love of cars. Chris loved the ocean beaches and spent a lot of time enjoying family and friends. She learned how to ice skate at Lakewood Ice Arena and a nearby lake, her passion followed through her life and led her to husband, John. She rode horses and her love for animals continued all her life. Chris is survived by her husband John, Glory, brothers Mike and Steve, and many cousins, whom she loved with all her heart. Chris was preceded in death by her sister, mother, and father. To all her friends and family at Kitsap County, she missed you dearly, and wished she had been able to contribute more, as she loved the new position she had just been hired for. Chris will be greatly missed by her family and all the people she touched. The world is a dimmer place without her light shining on us. To our dear friend Lori Olson your inspiration, guidance and love will forever be a source of strength on the path ahead. Very special thanks to Dr. Dennis Galvon, and Franciscan Hospice for your empathy, comfort, and care on this continuing impossible journey. In lieu of flowers please make a memorial donation in the name of Christine Kelly to Franciscan Hospice and Palliative Care, 2901 Bridgeport Way West, University Place, WA 98466.
