Christine Elliott
July 17, 2024
ELLIOTT (Stortz), Christine – Peacefully and surrounded by her family, Christine passed on Wednesday, July 17, 2024 in her 57th year.
Devoted mother to her children Spencer (Vicky), Sarah (Spike), and step-sons Aydin and Ethan. Loving wife to Steve (Bob and Linda), and cherished daughter of Bill and Pat Stortz. She will be deeply missed by her brothers Bill (Kate), and Dan (Hilary), as well as her nieces and nephews. Fondly remembered by Donna Shaw, her friend of many years. Her first granddaughter, who she was beyond excited to meet, is due any day now, and will grow to miss her grandmother deeply.
Christine built an incredible community throughout her years in Mount Forest, assisting with many girls hockey teams as their supportive (and vocal) trainer, volunteering for numerous events in town, and being an incredible back catcher for the Crusaders baseball team.
Christine devoted the majority of her adult years working at Reeves Construction alongside her mother, Pat. To know Christine was to know laughter. She always made a point to ensure people felt at ease, often with a joke or funny anecdote to break the ice (often with a hint of sarcasm). Never meeting an animal she couldn't befriend, Christine was constantly surrounded by her pets that loved her as much as she did them.
She leaves behind a yearning in all that knew her, that could only be satisfied by her warm smile and comforting presence. Her spirit lives on in our fond memories, of which could not possibly be forgotten.
The family would like to extend their sincerest appreciation for the kindness, warmth and professionalism shown by the doctors and nurses at Louise Marshall Hospital. For those wishing to make a donation in Christine's name, please consider the Louise Marshall Hospital Foundation.
A celebration of life will be held at the Mount Forest & District Sports Complex, Lower Leisure Hall, 850 Princess Street, Mount Forest on Saturday, September 28th from 1:00-4:00 p.m. Donations and online condolences may be made at www.englandfuneralhome.com

To Bill, Pat & family, our deepest condolences on the far to early passing of Christine, I will always remember coaching Spencer as a kid in minor hockey and hearing the voice of our most "passionate" fan, she was truly a fun person to be around.
— Rick & Judy Brownrigg, July 25, 2024I wanted to express my deepest condolences to the family and friends. Spencer, Christine's son was a childhood friend to me, and one of my best. His mother was always so kind, dropping him at sleepovers and so forth at my place. I always remember her humor, and her laugh when she was around. I also remember how involved in her kids lives she was with sports, a great quality of a great mom. Wishing everyone in the family and circle the blessing of happy memories to hold onto forever. Big hugs 💚
