Beyond her love for her late husband of over 50 years, and her family, Mrs. Fox loved bowling and traveling, as well as playing cards and dice with her family and friends. She was known for her kindnesses to others; notably sending cards to loved ones on their birthdays and other holidays. She worked at Eaton’s for over 20 years and was a member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church, Daughters of Isabella, and FOE #2580 Auxiliary. In the wake of her passing, we reflect on the impact she had on our lives and the love she shared with all who had the privilege of knowing her. Chris will be dearly missed and always remembered with love and kindness.
