Kris E. Petrelles

Kris Ellen (Sobleskey) Petrelles, age 57, died peacefully in the arms of her husband and three daughters at home in Fairplay, Maryland, on February 2, 2021. What a beautiful angel heaven has gained. Kris was born on August 19, 1964, the second youngest in a family of eight kids. Kris graduated in 1982 from Charlotte High School, and a short time later moved to Maryland where she lived until her death.
Kris was happily married for 27 years to Matthew Petrelles, who was her life partner for almost 33 years. Together they raised three beautiful daughters, Kelsie Rae, Ellie Julia, and Mallory Grace. Kris expressed great love and compassion for her husband and girls, as well as for friends and strangers, always happily putting others’ needs in front of her own.
Kris recently retired after a successful career as a Licensed Child Care Provider of Washington County, Maryland. In addition to spending time with her family she was a loving servant of God at the Hagerstown Bible Church, where she was an active volunteer for many church and community activities. During her life, Kris loved most of all being a wife and mother to her family. Kris loved all things Christmas, working out, eating healthy, listening to music, the children that she cared for, and her dogs, Rocky, Sparky, and Tiger.
Kris leaves behind many friends and family who will cherish her memory, including six brothers and sisters, Carolyn (Rick) Barrera, Rick (Carrie) Sobleskey, Marcia (Tim) Rayla, Laurie (Paul) Davis, Allen (Brenda) Sobleskey, Kevin (Cheryl) Sobleskey; and many nieces and nephews. Kris is preceded in death by her parents, Dick and Ellen Sobleskey; brother, Paul Sobleskey; and nephew, Lance Sobleskey.
As we will all miss Kris, her loving soul will live in us forever. A celebration of Kris’s life is scheduled for Saturday, February 20, 2021 in Maryland. In lieu of flowers, monetary donations to assist with funeral expenses can be mailed to the Osborne Funeral Home, 425 South Conococheague Street, Williamsport, MD 21795.
