Chris's obituary

On Wed. Aug 11th at 62 years old, Chris unexepectedly passed away into God’s graces. Although small in stature, she was large in heart and a true warrior throughout life. She shared a loving and committed partnership with her husband of almost 39 years. Together they raised 3 boys. She selflessly devoted her life to nurturing and caring for them, and they have grown into fiercely loved and chivalrous men. To know that these same values have been instilled in her boys is certainly her greatest success story.

She is survived by her loving husband Rick Daignault, her devoted sons: Rick Daignault III, his wife Katlin, Terry Daignault, Michael and his partner Shannon Lewis, her father Don Lewandowski, her brothers Don Lewandowski, his wife Annette (Ryan), David Lewandowski and his wife Joni (DeBrakeleer) her sister Laura Feichtinger. She was predeceased by her beautiful, loving mother Kay Lewandowski.

A celebration of her life will be held late 2021. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to selected charities that are close to Chris's heart. Both are listed within the “Memorial Gifts” section.

Our family would like to thank the first responders, nurses, doctors, counselors, educators and family members that played an integral role in saving or improving her quality of life. She always taught us to give without expecting return and the aforementioned men and women certainly lived this ethos. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Chris - You are with us, always. Be at peace.
