Christina Marie Eilers

Christina Marie Eilers, age 57, passed away on June 2, 2026, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. She was born on October 11, 1968, to the late Barbara Snyder and the late Dennis Eilers in Minnesota. At the age of three, Christina was adopted by Diane Eilers, who survives. Christina grew up in Fort Wayne, attending Southside High School and graduating from Northrop High School in 1987. Her larger-than-life personality and positivity allowed her to brighten any room that she entered, which served her well in her many years of work as a server at several Fort Wayne restaurants.

Roller skating was Christina’s favorite pastime at a young age. However, her adventurous spirit led her to join the circus for a time just after high school. But throughout her life, Christina developed many hobbies and interests. She loved the outdoors, especially the lakes with boating and tubing, and to camp and sit by the fire. She also loved gardening and baking. Christina was a Marilyn Monroe fan, loved singing karaoke, and was also a music fan in general, especially the music of Fleetwood Mac and Madonna. Being fun-spirited, Halloween was her favorite holiday.

Christina is survived by her daughter, Rhiannon Eiler; her daughter, Alexis (Christopher Sutphen) Kelley; and her son, Christopher (Vanessa Doyle) Goff. Christina is also survived by three grandchildren from Rhiannon Eiler: granddaughter, Maria Eilers; granddaughter, Annabelle Eilers; and grandson, Sammy Eilers. A fourth grandchild will soon be born to daughter Alexis. Also surviving are four brothers: Stephen Diss, Timothy Diss, Patrick Diss, and Patrick Snyder, along with three sisters: Jacquie Sager, Gina Madison, and Bobbi Snyder. Christina is also survived by her adopted mother, Diane Eilers, and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins. She also leaves behind her beloved Pit Bull, Brooklyn.

Preceding Christina in death were both parents, Barbara Snyder and Dennis Eilers; an aunt, K. Nannette Eilers; and an uncle, Ed Eilers.

A celebration of life will take place at a future date. The obituary will be updated to confirm the date.

Arrangements and care are entrusted to Hess Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 7633 Maplecrest Road, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
