Christie Wilt Obituary, Death – Christie Jo “Chrissy” Wilt, 41, of Bloomingburg, Ohio, died surrounded by her family on Wednesday, December 21, 2022, at 6:25 p.m., at Adena Regional Medical Center in Chillicothe, where she had been a patient the day before. Christie was born on January 21, 1981, in Clinton County, Ohio, to Paul Allen and Carolyn Rose “Rosie” Erbaugh Whittington, Jr. She graduated from East Clinton High School in 1999 and went on to get a bachelor’s degree in agricultural communications as well as a master’s degree from The Ohio State University’s College of Agriculture. At the time, she was the Credit Flex Director for the Miami Trace Local School District.
Christie was a member of the Bloomingburg United Methodist Church. She had been an advisor for the Blue Ribbon Champs 4-H Club in the past and was still involved in her children’s 4-H activities. She enjoyed competing in local, state, and national cattle exhibitions. She adored flowers and was a fantastic gardener. One of her favorite activities was driving her jeep with the top down on sunny days. Her primary passion, however, was assisting people and ensuring that her students completed high school. As her final act of charity, she generously gave the gift of life to others by joining in the Lifeline of Ohio organ and tissue donor program.
Her mother predeceased her on December 22, 2020. Her maternal grandparents, Harold and Flora Rose Erbaugh, and paternal grandfather, Paul A. Whittington, Sr., died before her.
