Kris married Mark Ashmus on June 27, 1981, at St. Mary Church in Fond du Lac. They recently celebrated 44 years of marriage.

Kris and Mark did everything together; camping, fishing, and traveling. She was the life of the party, outgoing and had a fun-loving attitude towards life. She made friends wherever she went. She enjoyed attending Packer and Brewer games. Kris loved tending to her flowers and plants. She took great pride in decorating her home.

I, along with many others, worked with Kristine at Oshkosh Truck.
So sorry to hear that she has passed. She was a great coworker that brought amazing energy to the engineering office.

I worked with Kristine while she was at Truck. She was on top of everything, including not letting my plants die! Always there with a cheerful attitude, she really made the office a better place.
To this day I still have an ivy she gave me that we named Kristine when she retired. We'll miss you Kristine

So sorry to hear of her passing. I worked with her at Oshkosh Corp. She helped me get my bearings when I was new. She was always easy to talk to and fun to be around.

Her passing comes as a shock to this old co-worker from Oshkosh Defense. She was integral in keeping things running while I was on maternity leave in 2010 and joining us all later on as a full-time employee working as an administrative assistant for engineering. She was easy to talk to, funny, and helpful when someone called. My deepest condolences to her family and friends.

So sad to hear of Kristine's passing. I worked with her at Oshkosh Corp and she was always so helpful and easy to talk to. You could tell she really cared and was there to listen if you needed.

I am so sorry to read that Kris passed away. Years ago I worked with her at Haentze Floral and then she and her husband Mark were next door neighbors on Sheboygan Street. I always found her so friendly and caring.
Please accept my sympathy. Kay Mullins
