She was born September 18, 1927 to the late Luther Troxel (1965) and Elizabeth (Payne) Troxel (1979) in Lagro, Indiana.

Christine attended and graduated from Lagro High School, Wabash County, Indiana. She attended college at DePauw University, with a major in music. Once married, they welcomed son, Charles “Steven”, they lived in Windfall, Indiana and were active members of Windfall Methodist Church. Christine worked at Mast Furniture & Gifts, House of Meridian and Brooks Brothers when it opened in Indianapolis. Later in life, she enjoyed volunteering at Second Presbyterian Church in Indianapolis, in the library and with seasonal events and luncheons. Most people know “Chris” was a card-writer and had beautiful script penmanship. She thought of every detail when putting together table settings, a gift or outfit. Survivors include granddaughter Kara (Ryan) Reiblich, great grand-children, Ryleigh K, Jordan J, nieces, nephews and friends that felt like family to her. We will especially miss visiting “GG Chris” with balloons. We would like to thank the kind and caring staff at Marquette Manor in Indianapolis, Indiana along with her longtime friends Darcy & Tom Voreis. “Grandma Chris” was celebrated at her 90th birthday party when she was able to enjoy herself, joyfully reflect on her life and talk with everyone who attended. A private service will be held while she is laid to rest alongside her parents and son. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to: United Methodist Church 201 S.
