Chris Gordon Obituary

(Christina Kocaj) Chris was received into the loving arms of Jesus on November 22, 2017 following a 10 1/2 month battle with brain cancer. Chris was born on March 20, 1959 in Buffalo, NY. She moved with her mom to Colorado and then to Everett, WA. She graduated from Mariner High in 1977 and attended ECC before marrying the love of her life. Her biggest joy was her family. She especially loved having tea with her granddaughters. Chris was preceded in death by her mother and father. She is survived by her husband, Terry Gordon; daughters, Amy Bennett, Debby Anderson, and Kaitlin Gordon; granddaughters Alexis, Grace, Natalie, Mia and Harper and grandsons, Jackson and Asher. We would like to thank all the caregivers we came in contact with during this journey. You were all gracious and compassionate. A celebration of life will be held on February 3, 2018 at 2 p.m. at Generations Community Church, reception following. Memorial may be made to Alvord Brain Center, American Cancer Society, or The Truth about Cancer.
