It is with profound sadness that we say goodbye to our mother, Christine Frances (McHugh) Simpson of Antigonish on July 14th, age 86.

Born in Montreal, she was a daughter of the late Francis and Ann (Hurst) McHugh.

Christine was the ultimate Mom, Mother-in-law, and Grammy.  She was always interested in everything to do with her family and loved getting everyone together for birthdays and holidays; she made sure all these occasions were so very special for everyone for many years.

Christine made banking her career choice.   She worked for BMO in Montreal until moving to Guysborough where she worked for RBC there and then in Halifax until she retired in 1995.

In retirement, she and her husband Mervyn spent many fun filled years at their place in Florida.  They loved travelling all around the US in their camper and enjoyed an exciting trip of a lifetime to Alaska.

Christine is sadly missed by her husband, Mervyn; sons, Rick (Marilyn), Steve (Ann), and Mike (Karen); her grandchildren, Matthew, Victoria, and Izak; and great grandchild Aislyn.

She was predeceased by her only sibling, Joyce Ann McHugh.

The family would like to extend appreciation to the caring doctors and nurses at St. Martha’s Hospital and the staff at the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home.

 

Cremation has taken place; a private family celebration of life will take place at a later date.

 

Funeral arrangements are under the direction of C.L. Curry Funeral Home, Antigonish.
