The obituary notice of Christine WHITFIELD

Reading all the messages and memories has made me realise just how lucky I was to have you in my life.

You were a huge role model to me growing up, and there wasn’t a day that went by without seeing you.

Some of my favourite memories will always be our holidays in Great Yarmouth. You could guarantee that a couple of days into the holiday, one of Uncle Ken’s cars would pull up outside our caravan. I loved every minute of it… right up until the tinned burgers appeared and I knew I wasn’t leaving the table until my plate was empty. Thankfully, my secret weapon was the dog. 1-0 Wayne. Although, secretly, I think you always knew.

Then there were the Saturday trips to ASDA, dropping you and mum at bingo on Sunday evenings, and the time I ran away from home only for you to tell me I could stay at yours before promptly grassing me up to my dad and sending me home.

Even when I moved to Skegness, the memories never stopped. You and Uncle Ken would visit on bank holidays and our annual birthday BBQs became a tradition.

The time you moved over and lived with us for a while.

When I met Sharon, you made her feel welcome from day one, and when Jake came along, you had a knack at getting him to sleep when nobody else could. That calm and caring nature never changed, and all three of my boys were lucky enough to experience it.

The memories are endless, and every single one of them is precious.

You were always there whenever anyone needed you, and that’s why you’ll never be forgotten.

Thank you for everything. Love you forever❤️

Forever My Mum, Forever My Best Friend

Losing you, Mum, has left a space in my heart that can never be filled. I feel so lost without you, because you were not only my mum, but my best friend, my comfort, my strength, and such a special part of my life.

There are so many treasured memories that I will hold onto forever — the laughter, the conversations, the little moments, and all the love you gave so freely. Those memories are precious gifts that I will carry with me always.

Although my heart is broken that you are no longer here, I hope you are now at peace, free from all pain and surrounded by love. I wish more than anything that I could have had more time with you, but I will forever be grateful for the time we did have.

Mum, I will miss you more than words could ever say. Life will never be the same without you, but your love will continue to live on in me every single day.

Sleep peacefully, Mum. Rest easy knowing you were deeply loved, truly treasured, and will never, ever be forgotten.

Until we meet again, my beautiful Mum and my forever best friend. I love you always 💜💜💜💜💜

Rest peacefully Christine. You will always be remembered with so much love.💜💜

Rest in peace sweet soul, you'll be missed by many 🕊 xx

Miss you nanna, love you💜xx
