Christine Helen Roovers

Chris was a wonderful, kind and generous woman. She touched many lives. We send all our love to Jordan and Miranda who we know keep her spirit alive forever. xo

Our thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to Miranda, Jordan and families for the loss of your dear mother who loved you all so very much. Chris was always a thoughtful, caring friend with so much class and love of nature, family, tennis and people in general.

My heartfelt condolences to all the family. Chris was a lovely lady, and strong and courageous in her fight.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Chris' passing. I met Chris at Bikram Yoga and enjoyed chatting with her before and after classes. She was so lovely to talk with and was a supportive and fun yoga friend. Both being teachers, we would share about our days at school. My memory of Chris is her happy, out-going personality and her bright, beautiful smile.

Deepest condolences to all of the family. Chris was a shining light for me on and off the tennis court. She will be deeply missed.

Miranda and Jordan, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May you hold close to your hearts the love, laughter and memories you shared with your Mom, today, tomorrow and all the days ahead! Blessings.

So very sorry to hear about Chris. A lovely person to have as a neighbour in Port. She will be missed.

I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was a sweet, loving lady.

To Jordan and Miranda I am sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Your parents were always kind to me and I enjoyed talking with them when I visited the two of you. I remember your dad had a nick name for me he always called me el heffa lol. Your mom would always offer a drink or snack soon after I arrived at your place and seemed genuinely interested in what was new with me and my life. Its things like this that you remember about people doesn't always have to be big. As they say its the little things that count. I won't pretend to know what you are going through but I hope that messages like this help the two of you and your families get through this tough time a little bit easier. Take care Jordan and Miranda.

To Mrs. Roovers: You were always very kind to your students and colleagues and you will be very much missed by everyone at EESS. I hope you find peace in heaven with your loved ones who will be glad to be reunited with you. Thank you so much for all that you have done as a teacher at East Elgin. Rest in peace Mrs. Roovers To Jordan and Miranda: I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. She was a caring teacher to all of the students that she taught at East Elgin Secondary School, and was always there for her students when they needed help. She was a very nice lady and always said hi to me when I would pass by her in the hallways, and was always willing to have a little conversation before class with me. Take care Jordan and Miranda

Dear Jordan and Miranda, We were all so very sorry to read of your Mom's passing. We have fond memories of our Greenhills days with your parents and Justin, hitting the ball with Jerome and Bill. Remember the " tennis football"? Christine's smile was infectious. I had only seen her once or twice during these past 20 plus years but when we would run into each other, it was as friendly a meeting as it had been all those years ago. Our heartfelt condolences to you. May the legacies of your Mom, Dad, and Justin live on , as they are now reunited. Betsy, Anne, Kim, and Rob Hamilton

Mrs. Roovers was a kind, caring energetic teacher. It was an honour to be taught by her. She will be dearly missed at East Elgin.

My condolences to Chris' family and friends. I will always remember Chris as a caring, dedicated teacher with an extraordinary joy for life. She is a colleague that will be missed.

Miranda and Jordan I am so sorry to hear that you had to say good-bye to your Mom. Chris was a bright shinning star...always smiling and so supportive. I can still hear her laughter it was contagious. Your mother loved life and I know you two will continue living life to it's fullest for her...she will enjoy and continue to watch over you, where ever you two go. Take care of each other and never forget how much you are loved.

God needed another Angel, He only takes the very best, Chris is walking on the warm sandy beach, Warm waves are washing over her feet. As she greets the love ones passed, They gather sea glass to sprinkle from heaven for all loved ones to find, so that they will know they are still upon her mind. So when your walk the beaches remember to look for sea glass for you will feel the warmth of the love Chris has for her children, grandchildren, Her generous spirit , love of life will live on in them.

Judith and I were saddened to hear of your mom's passing. Chris was always a woman full of energy and laughter and the zest for learning. I can remember just the first year after I hired her a s a teacher that I called her a "Renaissance woman", a moniker she always reminded me of. She was truly a woman of great capabilities and of great strength. She will be remembered.

Our deepest sympathy for the family. Chris introduced John and I and we have now been together for 17 years and have 2 wonderful children. This is part of her legacy; Chris gave to others freely. She was so generous and loving. She is deeply missed and will always be in our hearts.

My condolences go out to the extended Roovers family. I always knew her as Mrs. Roovers as she was my ninth grade English teacher. I will always have fond memories of her.

My deepest sympathies to you Miranda, Jordan and family. I always enjoyed seeing and talking to your Mom when she stopped in at our business. We talked about "life"... work, dogs ( she loved Sailor so much ), you kids and the grandchildren, and even men and dating". She is a woman who touched people because she had a beautiful soul. We will never forget her.

Deeply saddened by the passing of such a lovely person. Thinking of Miranda, Jordan, and all your family.

Chris was my first friend at East Elgin. As a new ESL teacher she helped me, taught me, and provided me with the encouragement and resources I needed to help my students. Her experience and passion for teaching were inspirational. Her smiling face and encouraging words will be sorely missed.
