Obituary of Christine Seymour

Christine Seymour, 82, passed away peacefully on September 9, 2025, surrounded by her family and under the remarkable care of the staff at the St. Marys Memorial Hospital.

Born in Swainby, England, on November 24, 1943, Christine immigrated to Canada in 1966 with her then-husband Ian to foster a better life for their family. She was the first of three children of Ray and Joan and was loved and appreciated by her sister Pat (Bill) and brother Paul (spouse Eileen). Christine was a loving and devoted mother to Andrew (Lori), David (Ellen), and Jason (Sophia). She was a doting grandmother to Spencer, Milan, and Marisa (Jon) and great-grandmother to Tyler, Lauren, and Olivia. Christine was a lively and loyal friend to many who were lucky to enjoy her friendship. Christine valued her long career at McKinley Hatchery in St. Marys, and spent almost the entirety of the last decade of her life living in St. Marys. In retirement, she was accompanied every day by her best friend, her dog Sammy, and enjoyed many nights of trivia and card games with her family. She also loved hosting Christmas gatherings in her well-decorated home. Christine was truly the matriarch of the Seymour family, and would go to the ends of the earth to help the people she loved. Her family will remember her generous heart, bright smile, infectious laugh, quick wit, enigmatic spirit, and wholesome soul. Christine's family also sends a special thanks to Pam Caldwell, Christine's best friend of 50 years, for her support and assistance through this difficult time.

Christine touched everyone she met with her warm and vibrant presence. She left a lasting impression on everyone who were lucky enough to know her, and will be deeply missed.
