CHRISTOPHER PIERCE Obituary

PIERCE CHRISTOPHER D. 69, of Mountville, formerly of Wynnewood, PA passed away on Sunday, November 7, 2021. For the past 30 years, Chris was a resident of Faith Friendship Villa, a home for adults with mental illness. His family is extremely grateful for the care and compassion that Faith Friendship gave to Chris. The fifth child of the late Leo and Peggy Pierce, he was devoted to his big family. Chris was always a free-spirit, a trait captured in a childhood story - home late from school one evening, his mother asked Chris where he had been. "I was just following the clouds," he told her. He was also a talented athlete who excelled as a swimmer and was an extraordinary Squash player. Chris had a wicked sense of humor, loved music and found joy in his favorite treats, especially Wawa coffee and hoagies and Cheez-Its. Chris is survived by his brothers: Leo, Jr.; J. Peter; Michael and sisters: Molly; Barbara and Connie. Also, many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents and a sister: Kathryn Cox. Interment will be private. Contributions in Chris's memory may be made to: Faith Friendship Villa, 128 West Main Street, PO Box 567, Mountville, PA 17554. https://www.faithfriendship.org Arrangements by the WORKMAN FUNERAL HOMES, INC.

Photo submitted is from our Annunciation Championship Baseball team in our eighth grade year of 1966. Chris was a pitcher on the team that won the Suburban League title. He is all the way over on the left side, standing in the row immediately behind the people seated. Photo was taken June 13, 1966.

So very sorry to learn of Chris' passing. I went to grade school with Chris at Annunciation School in Havertown. I remember him as warm hearted and fun loving guy with a gentle soul. We even worked together at his family's business. I lost touch with him years ago but always wondered what became of him. Rest in peace my old friend !
