It is with great sadness that the family of Kristine Elizabeth Baltz announces her passing on January 30th, 2021 at the age of 51 years. A native of Indianapolis, Kristine earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics from Indiana University Bloomington in 1992. She was employed in diverse sales & administrative positions, pursuing pottery as a favorite hobby. Sadly, she struggled with poor health, including strokes and brain trauma that left her physically impaired.
Kristine was happiest at family gatherings and game nights. She also poured her energy and enthusiasm into collecting souvenirs and dolls from all over the world. Most recently, she spent her time arranging vintage clothes displays together with co-workers at the Goodwill Store on 86th Street, and singing in the Shepherd Singer’s Choir directed by her uncle, Reverend Bob Schilling.
Kristine is survived by her mother Elizabeth Baltz, father Richard Baltz (Joan), sister Kathy Schmelig (Karlheinz), half-sister Emily Baltz, step sister Katherine Drabiak and step brother Benjamin Drabiak (Leah), an aunt, several uncles, cousins and nephews. We will all miss her very much.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations may be made in her name to
St. Vincent Foundation, Neurology Trauma Center, 8402 Harcourt Road, Indianapolis, IN 46260.
