Chris, as she was affectionately known, had a special place in her heart for wildlife and nature. She was a creative artist who loved to express herself through drawing. She also loved to dance! Her wonderful sense of humor and bright smile shined in all aspects of her life.
We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the Hospice of Westchester care team, Christine Duff, RN, Sophia Allen, HHA, Christine Paletta, LCSW, and Gabrielle Zale, CRT, that helped care for Chris. Their compassionate care went above and beyond all expectations.
