Kristine worked for many years at L&L Foods. She enjoyed volunteering at the Greater Lansing Food Bank and at the Capital Area Humane Society, and was especially fond of animals. She loved music and found joy in writing stories.
Surviving to cherish her memory are her parents, Kathleen and Michael Bens; sister, Michelle (William) Clare; and nephew, Michael Thomas Clare. The family would like to thank all of the nurses and doctors in the Emergency Department and the ICU at McLaren Greater Lansing for all of wonderful care they provided to Kristine.
Private services will be held. For those desiring, contributions may be made in Kristine’s memory to Capital Area Humane Society, 7095 West Grand River Avenue, Lansing, MI 48906 or to the Greater Lansing Food Bank, PO Box 16224, Lansing, MI 48901. The family is being served by Gorsline Runciman Funeral Homes, 1730 East Grand River Ave., East Lansing, MI. Condolences and memories may be shared with the family at www.greastlansing.com.
