Christine Ida Schorsch

Christine “Chris” Ida Schorsch was born on September 18, 1939, in Ashes Creek, Kentucky to Clarence and Orvia Strom. She passed away on March 28, 2022, lovingly surrounded by her 3 daughters in Brainerd, MN at 82 years of age.

When Chris was 2 years old her family moved to Columbus, MT and later to Cando, Hettinger, and Tioga, ND. Chris graduated from the Tioga High School and went on to Lakewood Park Bible School where she met the love of her life, Donald Schorsch. They were married on September 18, 1958. After graduation, Don and Chris went on to pastor churches in Rugby and Grafton, North Dakota, Charlevoix, Michigan, Huron, South Dakota, and Brainerd, Minnesota. They were married for 42 wonderful years and had 3 daughters.

Chris always went along for the ride with Don’s sometimes crazy ideas, and you could see her big smile and hear her little giggle in the background. She was a great cook, baker, and loved making meals for her family or to serve to others. Chris loved playing games with her kids and grandchildren such as marbles with trading 4’s, Life, the dice game of greed, Dominos, and you better be on your game if you decided to play Scrabble with her. Her family always wanted to take her on vacations with them, and she loved to go! Whether it was to North Dakota, Florida, Utah, Hawaii, Mexico, or another destination it took the trip to the next level of fun and enjoyment if Chris was along.

Anyone that knew Chris knew she loved Don, her family, and Jesus more than anything. She would be described by those who knew her as beautiful inside and out! Chris was a woman of prayer. Her family and friends knew if they called her with a prayer request, she would be on her knees and seeking God. Chris showed unconditional love and accepted people as they were, and you immediately felt loved when you met her. She was willing to serve others and care for people of all ages throughout her whole life. She was kind, generous, and compassionate to all. When Chris entered heavens gates, I’m sure she heard, “well done, thy good and faithful servant”.

She is preceded in death by her husband, Donald Schorsch; parents, Clarence and Orvia Strom; and brother, Lawrence Strom.

Christine is survived by her daughters, Lori (Wayne) Eskew, Shelly (Randy) Miltimore, and Kristi (Chad) Dockter; 7 grandchildren; 8 great-grandchildren; brother, Jack (Barb) Strom;
sisters-in-law, Joann (Larry) Strom, Janice Sorum, Fran (John) Hanstad; and many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to the Assemblies of God World Missions. Don and Chris were passionate about supporting and praying for missionaries both local and around the world. AGWM.com
