Ireland. At age 88 Chris was predeceased by many of her family including her two husbands, brothers Harry Gibson and John Hosick, her aunt “Our Rita” who was really more like a sister to her, and her nephew Eddie Lavery. Our “Belle of Belfast City”, Chris taught all her grandchildren the songs of her native Belfast and gave them a love of all things Irish while respecting and appreciating the blessings of living in Canada. Her strong Irish accent was recognised by all and understood by many. She lived openly, loved easily and had an infectious joy for life.
