Chris sadly passed away after a short but courageous fight with Cancer on the 4th March 2024. She went into hospital with an unrelated condition expecting to be sent home with some medication but a CT Scan led to the devastating diagnosis of Advanced, Aggressive Cancer. The results came with the worst possible diagnosis, it was incurable. Further scans found the cancer had spread elsewhere.

Chris accepted and faced up to her illness with remarkable bravery as she made the most of the time she had left. She was always cheerful and thinking of others and never once complained why she had been singled out in this way. Even with increasing pain, she always ensured she looked her glamorous self at all times. She wasn’t going to let cancer prevent her being the very best she could be.

Chris was the most beautiful, fantastic, charismatic, wife and partner to her husband Tom who is absolutely devastated at her passing. His admiration for his wife knows no bounds. Together they’ve had a fantastic life over thirty-seven and a half years. The outpouring of messages, cards and support from so many family members and a huge circle of friends is testament to the impact Chris had on so many people’s lives. It’s fair to say she was an extremely popular and fun person to be around. Her passing has left a huge gap in all our lives that can never be filled.

In Loving Memory Of My Wonderful, Much Loved and Special Wife Chris.

Once again I’m back in Fethiye Turkey and at our very special place, the Yacht Classic Hotel. Being back at the Hotel is very poignant as Chris should be here with me at the hotel she always called “our special place” and her favourite place in the whole world.

Today we’ve left a small part of Chris in the place she loved where she can always see the sea and mountains that meant so much to her and where she can once again be with her much loved Mum, Joan.

Our friends Banu & Batu did a great thing in letting me hold a small ceremony for Chris and I’ll be forever grateful to them.

Today I’ve finally completed all of Chris’s wishes and it has been an honour and a privilege to do everything that my beloved, darling wife asked for. I can’t begin to describe the loss I feel and the loneliness her passing has brought to me. I was so, so lucky to have been married to the most beautiful wife I could have ever asked for. The scale of mine and our loss cannot be put into words.

All my love always Chris,

Tom xx

  • Remembering My Much Loved And Very Special Wife Chris, Today, 26th May 2024 would have been our twelfth wedding anniversary and we would be celebrating it as always, in our special place, the Yacht Classic Hotel, Fethiye, Turkey. 12 years ago today we had the greatest day of our lives here at the hotel when Chris became my wife. I’m at the Yacht Classic now honouring a promise made to Chris in the days before she was so cruelly taken from me but there’s a massive void as Chris is not here by my side where she should be. Being back in Fethiye has brought home the huge scale of my loss and if there was anything I could do to turn back time I’d do it in a heart beat. By sharing this special photo from our wedding, I remember my beautiful, unique, funny and charismatic wife. I will never forget her. All my love as always Chris, Tom xx

My Darling Wife Chris,

I cannot put into words the depth of my loss and the constant pain and sense of loneliness I feel all the time. You were the most wonderful wife and partner who was always there to support and love me as we made our way through life together. It was clear to everyone that you were a beautiful person inside and out who had a tremendous sense of humour coupled with just being a lovely, kind, gregarious and generous person who never had a bad word to say about anyone. I’m at a loss to understand why you were so cruelly taken from me and us all and in such a short space in time. You didn’t deserve what you had to endure both before and whilst in hospital and even though I was there every day with you trying to help you through it, I felt totally helpless as we both knew there was only going to be one outcome. Life will never be the same for me again and there is a huge hole where you should be. I’ll never stop loving you and the wonderful memories we shared will be treasured for ever. I just wish I had the chance to create some more with you. Sleep tight Chris until we meet again.

All my love always,

Tom xx

Chris was such a lovely person to be with and will be sadly missed by the people she knew. She will always be remembered by me as a valued member of the Keith Floyd Wine Appreciation Group.

I remember the first time we met - at our u3a’s wine appreciation meeting. We were newbies to the u3a but you made me and Dave so welcome and our friendship started from then.
Chris, you were beautiful inside and out. Rooms lit up when you walked in, with your beautiful smile and contagious laugh. You were always so glamorous, even when just popping to the local shops, something I’ve never been able to emulate.
Oh, the times we’ve been having a serious conversation that descended into fits of giggles. And how many times did we tell each other we were never going to drink again …. !
Chris, me and Dave miss you so much. Your love for Tom was so strong and we promise we’ll look after him. Rest in peace until we meet again 😇💕🧡💕

My dear friend Chris. I am as lucky to be part of your life. Whilst helping you stay so gorgeous by doing your facials we became firm friends that trusted each other with all our secrets but mainly talked holidays, skincare, gardening and how bad our hangovers were!! I’ll always think of you with such fondness and love ❤️ RIP
