Christine Francis

July 23, 1947 - November 11, 2018

Christine Francis, 71 of Lake Villa, IL passed away on Sunday November 11, 2018 with her family by her side. She was born in Ludwigsburg, Germany on July 23, 1947 to the late Stephan and Cecilia Fundament. She was a very strong, feisty woman who fought on her own terms. She was the life of the party and her smile lit up the room. She loved to sing, played piano, was an avid reader, loved any Hollywood story and always wanted to be an actress. She never met a stranger who wasn’t her friend by the time they parted ways and had a special place in her heart for anyone who was harder to love. She was a teenager at heart who loved all animals and took many into her home to love. She always believed in her Catholic faith and is an 8-year breast cancer survivor. She is survived by her sons, Tony Salvaro Jr and Mike (Maria) Stover; grandchildren Addison and Elias; her long-term life companion Thomas Sances, his daughter DiAnn Sances and her son Giovanni Sances; her sister Barbara Fundament; brothers Christopher Fundament and Richard Fundament and nephew David Fundament. She is also survived by many friends who will miss her dearly. Funeral services were held privately. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Christine's memory to Save-A-Pet Adoption Center, P.O. Box 266, Grayslake, IL 60030.
