Christine Marie Elliott (Bures)

Christine Marie Elliott (Bures) peacefully passed away at home on January 23, 2016 after nearly a four year battle with ovarian cancer. Unfortunately, this brief obituary cannot possibly do her justice. She was always exceedingly kind and devoted to making all of her family and friends happy. We are all the better for having known her and the poorer for her passing.

She was employed as the Accounting Manager and Kyle Robeson’s beloved assistant at Robeson’s Inc. They truly treated her as family there and she loved them all for it. Her fight these last years was immeasurably easier with their love and support.

She is leaving behind a large family and exceptional group of friends who also love her greatly. She is survived by her husband Tom, son Matthew Pieper, daughters Kayla and Jenna, as well as daughter-in-law Raechel, mother-in-law Chris, sister-in-law Lori, and our precious grandchildren Liam and Elise. She is also survived by her parents Ken and Marilyn and her siblings Carl, Carin, Melissa, and Andy along with their families which includes a large number of much loved nephews and nieces.

Christine’s greatest joy was spending time (never enough) with her family during our annual camping and holiday trips. This was very closely followed by her time shared with her friends, fellow winos, and a good bottle of wine. She also loved being in the sun, nature walks, and her gardens.

There will be a visitation at Mackey-Wright Funeral Home in Monticello on Thursday January 28th from 6-8. There will also be a funeral service Friday morning at 10am and burial at the Monticello Cemetery at 11:30am. In lieu of flowers charitable donations to worthy cancer or hospice charities will be greatly appreciated.
