Tribute
It is with deepest regret for the family of Chris to announce her sudden departure.
Chris and Malcolm met in 1956 and were inseparable ever since. After immigrating to Canada from England in 1962 they moved to Kimberley and fell in love with the area where they lived a full and happy life together. Chris and Malcolm enjoyed hiking, backpacking and exploring the back roads and mountain tops. Their mutual love of nature and all the beauty so abundant in this area fulfilled their lives.
Chris was a very active volunteer, involved in Girl Guides, CGIT, Kimberley Public Library, Kimberley Golf Course, kindergarten classes and many more organizations in the community. Being a sports enthusiast, Chis, over the years, was an avid tennis player, golfer, badminton player, backpacker, downhill and cross-country skier, biker and runner. Travelling to New Zealand, Australia, Ireland, Europe, Costa Rica, Cuba, Hawaii, the USA, across Canada and Mexico her life was full of memories and stories.
Chris passed away quickly on June 3, 2021. She is survived by her husband and three children who were with her at the time of her passing. She was the wife of Malcolm, a mother to Alison (Murray), Steven and Scott (Cherylynne), a grandmother of five and a great grandmother of four, a sister to Peter (Linda) Johnson and an aunt. She loved life, shared her joy with all and will be sadly and greatly missed by all who knew her.
