It is with heavy heart and great sadness that I announce the passing of Patricia Irene Christie who lost her 2 year battle with cancer on January 22nd. She was the beloved wife of husband David for 47 years and devoted mother to her 3 children daughter, Diane and sons, Micheal and James. She was a very special grandmother who cherished all of her family members, brothers Kevin and Mark, and her many friends. Patricia was predeceased by her parents Frank and Betty Connolly, and brother Barrie.
Patricia was born in England and came to Canada as a very young child. She spent her growing up years travelling throughout Canada and overseas with her CF parents as a dependent. She and Dave met in Chatham, NB and were married in Comox and as a Forces wife, continued to travel overseas and all over Canada making many friends at the various postings they stayed at.
After Dave retired in Comox she enjoyed travelling with their trailer to campgrounds in the US and Canada. One of her favourite places to camp was at the CFB TeePee park campground.
She enjoyed the beach, walking around the perimeter road and feeding the many rabbits there. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
