CHRISTINE ELFERS
AGE: 58 POINT PLEASANT
Christine Elfers, 58, of Point Pleasant, passed away on September 25, 2009.

Christine was predeceased by her father Frederick. She leaves her loving mother Ursula (nee Dietl), her brother Frederick W. and his wife Patricia of Texas, and her niece Nancy and Nancy's children Katie, Rachel, and Amy of Texas. She also leaves many wonderful friends.

I was so sadden to hear of Chris' passing. We grew up together... singing along to the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Unfortunately, we grew apart after high school graduation but I will always remember the good times we shared.

Chris...It's been years, but I remember you fondly. From you, I learned about the Short Hills Outing Club, one of the best leads I ever had. I am one of many SHOCers who will long remember you

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of Chris! I retired from Fort Monmouth in February 2008 and learned of Chris' passing from my co-workings at the Fort. I was saddened greatly by the news. I worked with Chris for many years on several projects.....she was a very dedicated engineer and a very caring person. Chris attended the viewing for my daughter Jeni in July 2008 and I will always be greatful for her being there....representing my old office. This was way beyond the call of duty for her and was very much appreciated by my family in OUR time of mourning. My family and I will be thinking of you in YOUR time of mourning.
God bless you all.....Don Upmal, Brick, NJ
