Christine grew up in Sunderland, Northern England. While working on the Bridlington buses in 1965, she met Tony. They married, began a family, and in 1975 immigrated to Canada. Time was spent living in Bragg Creek and Calgary before retiring to the family ‘cabin’ they had built together.

Mum was the anchor of our family, affectionately known as Mum, Grandma Christine, MaTine, and Gigi to us. She will be loving remembered by her daughters – Sally (Alex), Kate (Jeff) and Marianne, her grandchildren – Jessica (Jon), Sarah (Brandon), Jake (Robyn), Adam (Meghan), Hannah (Darian), Annie (Beck), Piper, and Hunter, as well as her great grandchildren – Paisley, Finn, Rhea, River, Ella, Beau, Austin, and Lucy. Mum also leaves her brothers, John and Austin, her sister, Margaret and their families, Tony’s family, and many cherished friends. Sadly, Christine was predeceased by the love of her life, Tony, as well as her great grandson, Remy.

We are so appreciative of the wonderful support Mum received, especially from Dr. Maslowska, and Jessie from Home Care. This difficult time has made us realize how special and welcoming this community is. It’s comforting to know Mum had so many dear friends.

If friends so desire, a donation may be made to Mercy Ships Canada (a charity generously supported by Christine that provides cleft lip and palate surgeries for children in third world countries) – Mercyships.ca.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.
