On Monday, July 1, 2024 Christine Marie Frances Grimm (Cox) passed away at Victoria General Hospital surrounded by family and friends following a courageous battle with cancer and the complications of pneumonia.
Christine is survived by her daughter Rebecca and son Simon (Jen), her granddaughters Chloee, Leandra, and Belle and grandson Billie. She is also survived by her sister Mary Ann of Maple Ridge, and brother David (Eileen) of Saanich; her nieces Sarah Watts, Surrey, and Susan Finkle, Belleville, ON and their families.
Predeceased include her parents, Rita Mary (Quinlan) and Robert J Cox and sisters Gail Meyer and Arlene Campbell.
Born in Belleville and attended St Michael’s and BCI&VS, Christine was a feisty soul that lived life on her terms. She loved gardening, cooking, crafts, art, music, antiques, and being with people. Rules were made to be broken. She had a good, kind soul and made friends easily and everywhere she went. In her later years she loved to dress flamboyantly and was noticed by many, with her hats and scarves and many jewelry adornments.
Cremation has taken place. Family members and friends will be invited to an informal Celebration of Life.
