In loving memory of Chrissy Elliott who sadly passed away on 17th December 2021.
This is a tribute to my wonderful late wife, sister, mother, grandmother, aunty, cousin, and friend to many people.
Chrissy loved life, and faced any problems head on. She always had a big beaming smile and a wonderful sense of humour. Very competitive in playing games of cards, board games. Anything to entertain herself and others.
Purely by chance, we were introduced to each other by a friend of hers, back in 1977, when I was serving in the Royal Navy. I was asked to attend a Sea Cadets ceremony. After that, Chrissy’s friend asked her if she wanted to write to a sailor.. “not writing to anyone, I don’t know”. Well she came up and met me, in my uniform. She looked so young that I embarrassed myself by asking if she was still at school! Well, she went home and her mum asked her what she thought, I’m going to marry him mum!” The rest is history. We like any other couple had arguments, heated discussions, call it what you will, BUT, no matter how long it took, we talked it all out and moved on.
Chrissy loved family, two wonderful girls, beautiful grandchildren, of whom she was very proud. She will be watching over them to make sure they achieve great things if they try their best. All of her cousins she thought the world of, even thought throughout her life she would recount her wonderful childhood of Christmas mayhem at her Nan’s house.
She was a friend to everyone, no matter what walk of life a person came from, she would do everything she could to help. If someone knocked whilst we were having dinner, she would invite them in to eat with us. She loved her cooking, baking and she was so pleased to see her daughters doing the same thing.
For me, the things I miss are her beaming smile, and the glow in her eyes. Chrissy was just simply wonderful, warm and caring. Nature took her away from us all too soon. But she always faced up to any medical diagnosis, and accepted the outcome. She was brutally honest, and would argue a point until proven wrong. Then she was always, always the first to apologise to the individual.
Rest in peace my sweet, now you are pain free, and with your special family.
