It is with much sadness I have to announce the passing of my darling Chrissie on Friday, 6 February, 2026. A very dedicated and appreciated cashier for 44 years for Natwest Bank PLC. She loved France and travel with her French husband Pierre.

Taken from this life far too soon by Antenna Radiation Exposure, for which she spent 6 months in hospital.

A keen walker, cyclist, swimmer, skier and badminton player.

Gone to be with her Lord and Saviour Jesus, which is far better.

Until the first resurrection,

Until we meet again my darling.

Your heartbroken Pierre XX.
