Kristine Bole Obituary

Published by Legacy on Oct. 20, 2025.
Poland--Kristine Mary Bole, 74, passed away with her family and loved ones at home in Poland, Ohio, on Thursday, Oct. 16, 2025.

Kristine was born in Youngstown, Ohio in 1951 to Roy and Mary Bresser Bloomberg. She attended Struthers High School and graduated from Youngstown State University in 1972.

William "Bill" and Kristine "Kris" married September 28, 1974.

In 1977, her Uncle Bob Bloomberg, along with her father and husband, built the house she always considered home, where she raised her family with strength, joy and kindness in Poland.

Kris' career spanned through a few hometown institutions including Youngstown Sheet and Tube, DeBartolo Corporation and retiring from St. Elizabeth Hospital.

Kris cherished family events, especially her annual Christmas Bingo party, hosted on Thanksgiving. Summer and family vacations to Puerto Rico, New Smyrna Beach, Lake Tahoe, Ocean City, Niagara Falls & Breckinridge, were special memories to her.

Kris enjoyed trips with Bill to casinos near and far, always supporting and visiting her dear children and grandchildren around the country, catching up with friends at the gym and The Wednesday Dinner Group.

At the end of her day, she loved relaxing with her husband - laughing and watching her favorite shows, in the best seat in the house - her rocker.

Kris was famous for her pizzelles, M&M and sugar cookies - batches and batches - Andy's Apple Pie, lasagna, chicken "stuff" and enjoying a proper cuddle and English muffin with Oscar, the list goes on!

Kris is survived by her loving husband, Bill, of 51 years; three sons, Tim (Kate), Dan and Mike (Ryan); her loving sisters, Kathy (Gary) and Karen (Joe); darling grandchildren, Andy and Oscar; as well as many close nieces, nephews, cousins and grand doggies.

The family will receive relatives and friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2025, at the Rossi Brothers and Lellio Funeral Home, 4442 South Avenue in Boardman.

Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025 at the funeral home.

Family and friends are encouraged to offer prayers for the family and support by visiting the Book of Memories at www.rossifunerals.com.
