Our love and sincere sympathy goes to Chuck, Julie, Melissa, Chuck, Jr and their families as they navigate this life going forward without Kristine. We became friends with Chuck and Kristine over 40 years ago. Our lives have taken us to different places. But, we always enjoyed our times together and mostly our love of our children, good food, friends and family. Look out Heaven! You got a good one! Love you Kris. Sharon & Gary Kegg

Kristine was that "once in a life time" best friend when i needed her most. She was my partner in crime, in the kitchen especially. Years could pass and we would still be able to pick up where we left off. I will miss her quick whit and amazing smile. God received a blonde Angel. We all were so lucky he shared her with us.

Our deepest and sincere condolences to Chuck and the entire Benedict family. Kristine was an exceptional wife, mother, sister, grandmother and friend.

She was an awesome cook and baker. Her annual New Year´s brunches were beyond remarkable.
Kristine and Chuck have been in love since their first meeting at a friend´s wedding. They were inseparable and shared each and every day together. Her life was dedicated to her family. She has been a friend for over 50 years.

We will miss her warm and genuine smile, her sense of humor and her intelligence.
She was one incredible woman.

We will miss her sadly.
