Obituary

Chris’ life journey ended on Friday evening, May 8, 2026, in Christchurch. Loved wife and best friend of Neville. Loved sister and sister-in-law of John and Jenefer, Pat (deceased) and Ross. Loved auntie of Siobhan and Paul, Lucy and Katya and Chris. Thank you for your care and attention Dr Paul Peterson, St George’s Cancer Care, CDHB staff, Nurse Maude, and Chemist Helen Souter. A private cremation has been held. A celebration of Chris’ life will take place at Westpark, 467 Wairakei Road, Burnside, on Thursday, May 14, promptly at 2.00pm. Flowers respectfully declined. If you know Chris’ favourite colour and are happy to wear it, please do so. Those travelling in antique cars can park in front of the chapel. Due to roadworks, Wairakei Road is one-way between Breens Road and Roydvale Avenue, making access to Westpark available to west bound traffic only. Please allow extra travel time.

Guestbook

Our heartfelt condolences go out to Neville and family on the loss of his lovely wife and best friend, Chris. We understand this next journey will be incredibly difficult, but may you find comfort in knowing she will always be by your side, just not in person. Neville, if you ever feel like popping into GF by Bubbles for a chat, please know we are always here for you. With love and deepest sympathy from Lynette and the team at GF by Bubbles.
