Christine was born March 8, 1958 in Bamberg, Germany to Hans and Rosemarie (Hutter) Fischer. Of her many favorite things to do she truly loved gardening, cooking, taking care of her dogs, riding motorcycles, hanging out with her friends, and traveling. Known to many as "E.T." she loved God & Country and her family. Her heart was big enough to fit love for all of us.

Chris is survived by her husband Joe "Reb" Stinton whom she married March 7, 1975; two brothers Herbert "Herb" Fischer, and Winnfried "Winnie" Fischer, and a sister Susie Fischer. She is also survived by her besties/sisters Trish Caprez, Regina Sando, Glenda Schroeder, Margaret Dean, Della Jo Walker, and Linda Woodard; and her fur baby Mr. Gibbs Stinton.

She was preceded in death by her parents.
