1957 - 2020
 Christine Marie Fonda, 63, of Milton, passed away December 21, 2020, at home. She was born December 21, 1957, in Elgin, Illinois, a daughter of the late Frank Fonda and Grace Desantis Dwyer. She was an employee of US Army Corps of Engineers for 45 years and a member of River Cities Church. She never met a stranger, striking up a conversation with anybody, anytime with a big smile. Even the Governor of West Virginia (John D. Rockefeller IV) was not a stranger as she met him too. She rubbed elbows with Generals of the Corps of Engineers as well. She loved watching and going to Marshall University sporting events, bowling, and playing marbles with her family. She saw the world through a child’s eye, excepting you as you are. The world was a much better place with her in it. She is survived by her step-mother, Wilma Fonda of Huntington; two sisters and brother-in-law, Theresa and Gary Chapman of Kenova and Lisa Dwyer of Algonquin, Illinois; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Jeffrey and Brenda Fonda of Charlotte, and David Fonda of Winchester, KY; two nephews, Jack Fonda of Austin, TX, and Eric Vahovick of Ceredo, WV; one great-niece, Scarlett Vahovick; and one great-nephew, Zeke Workman. Services were private. Burial was in White Chapel Memorial Gardens, Barboursville. Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville, assisted the family with arrangements. |

Christine was our favorite neighbor,years ago she would play badminton with Josh and Natalie. Christine enjoyed cookouts and made her special hotdog sauce. Randy and I will miss her dearly. She was just telling me the shift at work was hard on her. She also liked going on mission trips and she helped clean up after storm Katrina. Such a shock to us.

Both my husband, Randy Sortet, and I were very saddened by the news of Christine passing. Particularly since she passed short weeks before her planned retirement.
Christine was a wonderful coworker who was always there to lend a helping hand with a kind heart and smile. We were blessed to work with her.
We pray for comfort and peace for her family and many friends. May God bless you all.
