She has left behind her husband, Billy; sons, Mark (Shelly) and Matthew (Michelle); grandchildren, Logan and Brody; sisters, Jane Symes and Beth Lahey; many nieces, nephews and cousins. She was a devoted loyal mother and wife, who cherished her family. We will all miss her desperately. The other important people she loved who left before her were her mom, Nancy, earlier this year, her dad, "Slats" in 1997, and her grandparents. She had an absolute passion for life, people and dancing. Chris had an amazing knack for making all feel special, always seeing the good in people. She would light up a room when she entered. She loved to travel and spend time at the camp in Lake Charlotte. She graduated as a CNA from the Dartmouth Vocational School and though never worked long in that profession, helped organize the reunions of her nursing class that she loved to attend. She was a chartered member of the Lake Echo Lioness for many years and also helped to found the Orenda Canoe Club in Lake Echo. She worked most recently at CIBC on Wyse Road and spoke very fondly of the many wonderful customers she loved to serve. Chris had many treasured lifelong friends, too numerous to mention who will also miss her warmth and compassion. She kept her wonderful positive attitude, strength and sense of humour until the end and wants us all to keep smiling and living happily. You can visit the family and pay your respects today from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. in Atlantic Funeral Home, 771 Main St., Dartmouth. A celebration of her life will take place on Wednesday, October 13, at 1 p.m. in the funeral home. Cremation and burial will take place later for immediate family. Donations may be made to Canadian Cancer Society in memory of a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister and friend. Smiles for all and kisses for the special boys in my life.
