Christine Dain Ellerton

 Christine Dain Ellerton

(9/19/1951 - 7/13/2021)

Free to fly on wind,

to catch the breeze,

floating where I please.

Free to shine with the sun,

to light up the day

my own way.

Free without my body,

to live on in your memory.

Chrys left us peacefully with her husband Vaughan by her side. Chrys attended Cazenovia Central School and Convent School in Central New York. She graduated from Pratt Institute with a degree in Fashion Design. Chrys modeled for Barbizon, opened her own design shop in Ellicott City, MD, taught GED at a correctional facility and worked with displaced homemakers finding housing, food, child care, workforce training, and jobs. A soft spot for any creature in need had her buying groceries for others, providing lunches for the homeless and collecting dogs and cats.
