Obituary of Christine Susan Bonham

Christine Susan Bonham, 54, of Howell passed away on Friday, November 22, 2024 at Monmouth Medical Center, Long Branch.  She was born in Pompton Plains, raised in Ringwood and was a resident of Howell for 32 years.  Christine was known for her tremendous generosity, always lending a helping hand to anyone in need.  She was a lover of all things Disney because it represented the magic the world had to offer.  Christine could often be found crafting at anytime so she could add a special touch of love to everything she did or gave.  She was a proud supporter of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Organization and participated in the annual walk at Great Adventure for many years.  Christine was a country music fan and loved going to Zac Brown concerts with her family.  Family and friends were at the heart of everything she did.  Christine always put herself after the people she loved.  A champion for all, she found happiness in other people’s happiness.  She leaves behind her soulmate and her heart to her sons.

Bonham; sons, Ryan and Kyle of Howell; parents, Jack and Beverly Cortese of Murrells Inlet, SC; sister, Michele Peterson and her husband, Robert of Somerset; mother-in-law, Nancy Bonham of Howell; and sister-in-law, Jill Bennett and her husband, Paul of Howell.
