Obituary of Christine Elayne Channon

Passed away peacefully on September 13, 2025 after a long struggle with many physical and mental challenges.

Christine leaves behind, her husband John to mourn her passing. She was  a devoted mother to Paula Robinson (Marc) and grandmother to Abbey. She will be sorely missed by her extended family members and friends she had over the past 77 years.

Christine’s passions in life included cooking, dancing, a good party and her beloved dogs. She loved to sing and recite poems. Her favorite poem was The Highway Man.

Cremation has taken place. Donations in her memory to the Ottawa Humane Society would be appreciated. Online condolences may be made at colefuneralservices.com.

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees.

The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas.

The road was a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moor,

And the highwayman came riding—

Riding—riding—

The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.
