Chrissie loved to bake, sew and knit for her family, and would also feed and clothe anyone else in need. A devout Catholic, she regularly attended Sacred Heart and St Joseph's Church, her faith bringing her joy and comfort.

We will all remember her as the kindest, most loving lady with a wicked sense of humour right to the end. She leaves a huge void in our hearts, now reunited with Gerry and her beloved son Paul.
