On Saturday, April the 4th, 2026, Christine Whittaker, beloved sister, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully in hospital after a long illness. Christine was a "bright spark", with a generous heart for strays, both animal and otherwise. She was in love with life, good food, shopping and spending time with friends and family. With her passing, she wanted no sad funeral, but rather a celebration of how beautiful life is when surrounded with love. Her ashes will be scattered on the moors above the village in England where her heart was home.
