It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Christine Helen Kryschuk on December 8^th, 2023, at Concordia Hospital at the age of 82.  Christine passed away with her loving family by her side.

Christine was born on October 17, 1941, in Winnipeg to her parents Frank Lawrence and Rose Marie Petrowski.  

She will be cherished and deeply missed by her husband of 63 years George; sons Brad (Leah) and Brent (Jodi); grandchildren Allison Bishop (Thomas), Noah (Haley Teichrib), Amy, Hanna; great grandchild Elliot (son of Allison and Thomas); brother Gerry Lawrence (Grace) and half-sister Patti Mondor.  Christine will also be fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews, extended family and many close friends.

After graduating Tec Voc High School, Christine worked for the City of Winnipeg Hydro.  Christine and George were married on June 11^th, 1960.  Their early years were spent exploring and enjoying life together.  The next chapters of their lives consisted of raising their two sons while continuing their life journey focused on love, family and friendships. 

Christine had many passions in life!  She enjoyed gardening, golfing, go-carting, cooking, curling and bingo.  However, the most important thing in the world to Christine was spending time with her family and friends. Getting together for special occasions or informal gatherings always lit up her beautiful smile and were the source of her most cherished memories.

The family would like to express our profound gratitude to the doctors, nurses, and staff at CancerCare Manitoba, Access River East Medical Care and Concordia Hospital for their compassionate care.  As well, a heartfelt thanks to the extended family and many friends for their tremendous and loving support.

A memorial service will be held on Monday, December 18^th at 11:00 am at Cropo Funeral Chapel, 1442 Main Street, Winnipeg, Manitoba.
