I was so saddened to hear of Chris’s passing. Having worked closely with her for 12 years at Roland- Grise Middle School, I always admired her dedication to her students and her unique sense of humor. She was an exemplary teacher. My heart goes out to her family, especially Emily who was her pride and joy.
I have very fond memories of Chris. We first met at St Mary's in New London and then went on to Saint Bernards in high school. Chris was funny, artistic, and always stood up for the underdog. I know she is resting peacefully now in heaven. Mary Shaughnessy DeMaio, St Mary's Star of the Sea Grammar School '69 & SBHS '73
