Leppert Mortuaries - Nora
Christine Troxel Eltzroth (94)
Christine T. Eltzroth, longtime resident of Hamilton County passed away peacefully in her
sleep October 12, 2021, at the age of 94. She was born September 18, 1927 to the late
Luther Troxel (1965) and Elizabeth (Payne) Troxel (1979) in Lagro, Indiana. She married
Charles E Eltzroth on January 11, 1948 in Wabash, Indiana; he preceded her in death in
1997 and son Steven in 2005. 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.
