Christina “Chris” Ann Fallows has left us. She passed away on February 19th after battling for over a year with several formidable conditions – none of which alone could best her. She was a caring wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend, teacher and fighter to the end.
She was born to Jack and Kitty Gillespie on May 7, 1948. After graduating Teachers College, Chris married her high school sweetheart Bill in 1968 and the two set out on an adventure that would last just shy of 55 years. Together they had 2 children: Erin and Jeff, and three grandchildren: Jackson, Amara and Simona. Chris also shared her life with her dear brother Bill (predeceased), loving daughter-in-law Angela, Moritz, sister-in-law Cathy, two nieces Caitlin and Jacklyn, great niece Brooklyn and many friends, colleagues and students whose lives were forever changed because of her.
Chris loved teaching – a passion that really had no limits. She also took great pride and joy from spending time with her grandchildren, baking cookies (her specialty) and gingerbread houses, working with young entrepreneurs at Junior Achievement, volunteering at THEMUSEUM and Big Brothers and Sisters of Canada, scrapbooking and knitting.
Chris' family will receive relatives and friends for a memorial service at Westmount Memorial Celebration Centre, 1001 Ottawa St. S., Kitchener, (519-743-8900), on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 at 11:00 a.m. Online condolences at www.westmountfuneralchapel.com
