Christine Michelle "Chrissybug" Allen

Christine Michelle Allen (Radloff), known affectionately by her family and friends as ChrissyBug, knew how to light up a room with her infectious laughter and selfless spirit. In the face of adversity, Christine showed us the power of resilience and courage. Her battle with cancer was fought with the same grace and determination that marked her life. Even in her darkest hours, her spirit remained unbroken, her love for her family unwavering. Christine was born on July 28, 1967 and left us the same way she lived, on her own terms, in Milwaukee on November 8, 2023, after a courageous and hard fought battle with cancer.

A proud graduate of Greendale High School, Christine was a woman of many talents. Her creativity knew no bounds, and she found joy in crafting unique pieces that encapsulated her remarkable spirit. Her passion for throwing a great party was unmatched, filling her home with laughter, joy, and the treasured memories of family and friends gathered together. Her selflessness was evident in every gesture, every smile, and every word of comfort she offered to those around her.

But what she loved most was spending time with her family. ChrissyBug was a shining light in her family, a beacon of love and warmth to all who knew her. She leaves behind her loving husband Timothy Allen, her cherished daughters Kayla Wozniak and Cassie Block (David Block), her doting mother Kathleen Rivard (John Rivard), and her loving brothers Timothy Radloff (Sarah Sadler), Mark Radloff, and Daniel Radloff (Amy Radloff). She was preceded in death by her father Harry Radloff, grandfather Allen Riley, uncles Edward Radloff and Michael Craig, and cousins Jenny Craig Bernsteen, Heather Radloff and Zachary Riley.

Her life was a testament to the power of love, and her legacy will endure in the hearts of her beloved family.

In the words of Maya Angelou, "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." Christine embodied this quote, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those she loved. Her spirit of generosity, her infectious laughter, and her unwavering love and support will forever be remembered by all who knew her.

Her family will remember her as a pillar of strength, a beacon of positivity, and the heart and soul of every family gathering. ChrissyBug was more than just a beloved wife, mother, daughter, and sister; she was a friend who was always there, a shoulder to lean on, and a source of endless inspiration.

As we mourn the loss of our beloved ChrissyBug, we also celebrate a life well-lived, filled with love, laughter, and beautiful memories. Her legacy will continue to live on in the hearts and minds of everyone she touched. While we may no longer see her smiling face or hear her infectious laughter, her spirit will continue to guide us, reminding us of the power of love, the joy of creativity, and the importance of selflessness.

A visitation will be held at Church In the City, 2648 N. Hackett Ave., Milwaukee, WI 53211 on Saturday December 9 from 11AM-12PM. A memorial service will then follow at 12 noon. The celebration of Christine’s life will continue later that day (Saturday December 9th) at Classic Lanes-Greenfield, 5404 West Layton Ave., Greenfield, WI 53220, starting at 3PM. Please wear purple in honor of ChrissyBug!
