Christine Marie “Chris” Provenzano, 46 of Jefferson, passed away due to a lingering illness on Sunday, May 15, 2022, at Marquardt Village in Watertown.

Chris was born August 4, 1975, in Fort Atkinson, WI, the daughter of Roger and June (Blegen) Provenzano. She was employed at Opportunities in Fort Atkinson and worked the Mail Run. Chris loved art, math and reading. She also enjoyed swimming. Music made Chris the happiest, and she loved to listen to CDs and the newer music that her sister’s shared with her. Her favorite snacks included Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, McDonald’s and especially Pepsi. Chris had an infectious laugh and could light up a room with her smile. She will be dearly missed.
