Christine Coan Obituary
Chris's life was marked by an unwavering devotion to her family, and a heart that knew no bounds when it came to kindness and compassion. Her gentle spirit and generous nature were hallmarks of her character, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she encountered.
She leaves behind a cherished family: her children, Shannon, Keith (married to Michelle), Kelly (married to Dan), Kaila (engaged to Rocky), Meghan, and Morgan. Her memory will be treasured by her grandchildren, Mackenzie, Nathan, Molly, Nicole, Hailey, Andrew, Liam, Mia, and by her great-granddaughters, Eleanor and Estelle. She is also survived by her siblings, James, Linda, Michele, and Lisa, and her dear niece and best friend, Vicky. Christine was preceded in eternal rest by her mother, Dolores Chason, and her sister, Sandra Chason.
The family will gather to honor and celebrate the life of Christine on the 18th of August, 2024, from 2:00 in the afternoon until 5:00 in the evening, at Camp Quad, located at 6886 County Road Q, Hartford, Wisconsin, 53027. All who hold Christine dear are welcome to join in this celebration of a life characterized by love, laughter, and selfless service.
In lieu of customary remembrances, the Coan family kindly asks that donations be made in Christine's honor to Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin. This gesture is a tribute to the care and support provided by Dr. Sailaja Kamaraju, Dr. Jutta Deininger, Dr. Tracy Kelley, and the staff at the institution, and serves as a continuation of Christine's lifelong commitment to loving others. Your contributions will help sustain a spirit of generosity and care that Christine so effortlessly embodied.

Chris I am truly thankful we were able to get together over the last 2 years. You fought a long hard fight to stay with family. Your suffering has now ended.. I am thinking mom is still showing you every inch of heaven. I can only imagine her awaiting your arrival. I have been on this site so many times and could not write this. I have struggled so. If I ignore this has not happened. I am missing you so. I know we will all be together again as a family. Until then I think of you every day. I love you Chris

My loving, kind, warm and generous sister. My first memories of you are when we were children. We went through some very difficult times together which you remembered but I was to young to remember. Things got better and we were all together again. I remember you holding my hand to and from school. You were my protector. I remember all the fun things we did as children. Whether it being four square, ice skating playing crack the whip. We both loved being at the end of the line while we were ice skating. Walking to Washington park to the zoo before it moved to its current location, picnics while there, how we loved our fizzie drinks that Mom always had for us. Hoyt park swimming, knitting lessons.
I could go on and on. I cherish each and every memory mentioned and so many more. Those are our memories that I'll forever hold in my heart. I think of all them and a big smile is there just thinking about them. I loved you then and I love you just as much now. Always in my heart and thoughts.

Mom,
What I would give to have one more day with you, one more I love you, one more hug, one more kiss goodbye, or one more phone call to hear your voice.
I thought we would have more time, that somehow you would always be here with me.
I know you are in heaven and watching over me, I feel your presence with me every day.
You fought the good fight, and I am so proud of you.
Fly Free Mom
I love you today, tomorrow and always.

My Dear Sister Christine,
During this very difficult time it gives me a tremendous amount of comfort knowing you are being held in the arms of our Saviour Jesus Christ and the arms of our loving and kind Mother.
You were a beacon of strength for me and so much more. You were always such a strong woman and you inherited that from our Mom.
I will forever treasure every minute of time we had together. I will never say goodbye to you. I will love you for all time.
To my nieces and nephew, I know you can find some comfort in knowing your Mother loved you with every ounce of her being. She suffers no longer. She will always be by your side.
Rest in Peace, Chris. I will join Bryan, You and Mom one day.
Linda
