Chris GUY Obituary

GUY, Chris Our beloved wife, mother, and grandmother passed away on April 10, 2017 after a lengthy illness. Chris and her husband Steve were a great team in life for the last 42 years, raising their children as well as building a successful medical practice. She began her career after graduating from Wright State University with her B.S. in Medical Technology. She went on to help form and manage her and her husband's OB-GYN practice. Her beliefs in natural child birthing helped inspire the development of the Family Beginnings Birthing Center at Miami Valley Hospital. In 2003, she was diagnosed with brain cancer and defied the odds for 14 years. During this time, she was able to support her children through graduations, to celebrate her children's marriages, and to witness the births of her grandchildren. She will be greatly missed by Steve and their 8 children: Mike (Kyla), Beth (Josh Handwerker), David (Stephanie), Daniel, Jon, Joe, Katie, Megan, and their 11 grandchildren: Layton, Logan, Anna, Isabella, Owen, Charlie, Elise, Lucy, Micah, Clark, Carson. Two sisters, Bonnie Kramer and Karen Lowery, survive her. She was blessed to have many other loved ones. Her parents, William and Julie Lowery, and her sister, Catherine Yockey, preceded her in death. Services will be held on Friday, April 14, 2017 at Ginghamsburg Church, 6759 S. County Rd. 25A, Tipp City. Family will receive friends at 4:00 PM; memorial service will begin at 6:00 PM with dinner immediately following. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to Miami Valley Hospital Foundation in memory of Chris Guy to continue her legacy at Family Beginnings, 31 Wyoming St., Dayton, OH 45409; or Ginghamsburg Church Christmas Miracle Offering, 6759 S. County Rd. 25A, Tipp City, OH 45371.

Dr Guy,
Beth Hurd here, Bill's wife.
John McCain's diagnois announcement today made me think about you and Chris.
I am so sorry to see that you lost her in April. She was such a special woman. Strong, smart and low key like you!
You and Chris created such a beautiful family. I'm so glad you have them!
Please know how much Bill and I care.
We found a great church down here in Chapel Hill and we keep you in our prayers.
Best,
Beth & Bill Hurd

Dearest Dr. Guy and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you are covered in prayer during this time of mourning. It was my pleasure to be one of your parent's early patients at the Vandalia office. Chris was welcoming, kind and genuine. We occasionally ran in to each other years after and she demonstrated her long memory and generous spirit.

Sending prayers and comfort to you...

Chris was such a wonderful person. I am so glad I was able to get to know her. I especially loved the Jamaica trip she came on and seeing her so happy and enjoying sharing the mission work Steve was so passionate about. Steve, I always was in awe of you and Chris' marriage. Not just the obvious love you shared but your friendship and true caring for each other. Though your heart must be breaking know Chris will always be with you. Through your wonderful children, grandchildren and memories of the life you shared. She is at peace and know the Lord is holding her in his arms. God bless the Guy family and all the people Chris blessed by being the wonderful lady she was.
