Kristine L. Mann (nee: Trushel), age 58, surrounded by her loving family peacefully passed away on Tuesday, November 29, 2022, at the David Simpson Hospice House in Cleveland, OH following an eight-year battle with cancer. Born on June 17, 1964, she is the oldest of three daughters born to Emerson and Karen (nee: Orzen) Trushel of Chardon.

Kristine was a caring, compassionate person always willing to help in any way. She was giving and kind-hearted to everyone and especially to her beloved dogs and horses. Her love for horses began with her pony “Polly”, an 8^th birthday present from Mom and Dad. With her mother’s help and guidance, she became an accomplished horsewoman and went on to win many state and national awards. Growing up on the family farm her favorite pastime was hanging out in the barn, listening to John Denver tapes. She was a lifetime member of the Ohio and American Quarter Horse Associations.

After graduating from Chardon High School in 1982 she moved to Florida where she worked for professional trainers breaking and training young Quarter Horses, preparing them for the show ring. During that time, she also worked as an Office Manager for an international produce broker in Tampa, FL. After 12 years in Florida, she returned to Ohio and continued with her horse activities, eventually teaching her young niece to ride and show in 4H and the Quarter Horse show circuit.

Kristine is survived by her parents; sisters, Stacy Demarco, Kelly (Jim) Laudato; niece, Lauren Laudato; nephews, Michael Laudato and David E. Demarco; aunts, Judy Bell (nee: Trushel) and Sheila Hughes (nee: Fenstermaker); cousins Mark and Kevin Orzen, Kim Rinalla, Kurt Bell, and Kelly Wildschutte.

So sorry to the Trushel family. Christine is no longer suffering she was an amazing person and touched everyone that met her with her amazing kindness.

Emy and Karen, our heartfelt condolences on the loss of your daughter. You and your family will be in our prayers., Jeff and Mary Johnston

Dear Sonny,Karen and family, Our hearts were broken hearing of Kristen’s passing. Such a beautiful, talented woman! May God give you peace and comfort. I have wonderful memories of your farm, your girls, and our visits with Uncle ‘Em. Love, Wendy

Karen and Em and family. I am so saddened to hear of the passing of your dear daughter. In reading her obituary, it's obvious that she led a full, useful and happy life with a close and loving family. Her memory will be a blessing for you all for years to come. Philippians 4: 6&7 has always been a comforting scripture to me, that "prayer and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus." Much love to you. Judy and Joe Bolan

I’m saddened to hear about Kris’s passing . She was a good friend when we were younger. ...,.. my best friend.. We fell out of touch as we got older but she’s always held a special place in my heart …She always had a smile on her face .... her kindness was one in a million . My memories of Kris will always be as a beautiful , vibrant , full of life friend taken way too soon . My prayers are with Kris’s family . So very sorry for your loss.

My sincere condolences for the entire family ! Karen and Em, I am so very sorry ! Kris could always manage to help put a smile on ! She will be sorely missed !!

What a warm sole God gave you! Unconditional in your love for your family. You are is a warrior! You laughed at pain for the sake of happiness. Your humility, your smile and your cheerful countenance is your legacy and one worth remembering and sharing. Thank you Kris. You’re a sister to remember. Much love and peace to you. God has a place for you. Give the others a hug for the rest of us. See you later.

What a sad day. The world seems infinite when we’re teenagers and even in our twenties. The possibility that one day a friend can be sitting right next to us and the next day be gone is unfathomable. Although I hadn’t spoken to Kris in years or seen her since my early twenties, I could tell you what her laugh sounded like when she was giggling so hard she couldn’t breathe. Or that her dance moves put my awkward kicks and swings to shame and that she was amazing with kids, animals and basically every person she met. Her charm and her energy and her massive heart were powerful to be in the presence of. Anyone who encountered her, remembered her! Death is always an unexpected earthquake, regardless of whom it happens to or what your relationship was. But when it happens to someone you had tons of fun with, did crazy and wild things with in or after High school or just embraced tightly to help with a bad day. It is then, when loosing them at such a young age, well, the shock is more pungent. So, If you ever wonder if that great friend of yours whom you haven’t seen in a decade still thinks about you, know that they do. You’d probably be surprised to find out how much. Kris, You will be missed!

Karen and Emerson and family, so very sorry for your loss ,our thoughts and prayers are with you

May you Rest In Peace my beautiful friend. I love you Krissy

Em &Karen, My most sincere sympathies, at the loss of Kris. She was a beautiful, kind woman. No words will ever take away your loss! I carry your heart in mine.

My big sister...I love you and will miss you forever..you were a beautiful person inside and out.. I will think about you and smile everyday.

Emerson, Karen and Family, So very sorry for your loss. Cherish the wonderful times and memories you have had with her. My first concert, John Denver, was with her, her sisters and mom. I remember Pollyanna and riding her, vacation with Kris in Florida during our High School days, movies, horse shows, parties, etc. We were best friends in HS and there are a lot of wonderful memories I hold near. She will be missed and never forgotten. Prayers for comfort during this most difficult time.

I am so sorry! I have many fond memories of our younger years, horse shoes and I am sure getting into trouble. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
