Chris Noel Monk

Obituary

Passed on January 11, 2020

Dec. 20, 1938 – Jan. 11, 2020       A very special man peacefully passed away, surrounded by loved ones on January 11, 2020. Chris was born on December 20, 1938 to Nora and Walter Monk in East Ship Harbour, Nova Scotia. His memory will forever be cherished by his sisters, Geline, Sheila, Virgina and brothers Charles and Duncan all in Nova Scotia. At the age of eighteen he joined the Armed Forces and ended up in Manitoba with the RCHA for three years. Chris was always looking for something different and better. Well he found it. Chris and Mabel married in 1959 and he started a new career with the Pulp and Paper industry from which he never really retired. But without a doubt the most important thing in Chris’s life was his family. We will miss his stories, advice and unconditional love and will cherish the memories of him in our hearts forever. Chris’s greatest love was family and probably fishing, hunting and sitting around with the boys at the Legion. Chris will be lovingly be remembered by his wife Mabel and his chosen family, Fred, Ken, David, Gerald, Freda, Arlene and Pam and their spouses, numerous nieces and nephews and with a special mention to his nephews Jon and Trevor Norquay and niece Amanda Norquay which he held dear to his heart. On behalf of our family we extend our sincere gratitude to Dr. Venter and all the nurses and staff for their caring and compassion given to Chris at the Stonewall Hospital. At Chris’s request there will be no formal funeral service at this time. Cremation has taken place. Interment will be in the Veteran’s section of the Stonewall Cemetery at a later date. In lieu of flowers please make donations in Chris’s memory to Parkinson’s Canada 7 – 414 West Mount Drive, Winnipeg, Manitoba, R2J 1P2. To all, thank you for sharing our sorrow.
