Chantal Wilson Obituary

Chantal Wilson (Ganci)

Chantal passed away on Dec 23rd 2018 at UCSF San Francisco, California at the age of 59. Born and raised in Paris, Chantal had a passion for travel and became a Tour Guide which allowed her to travel extensively. It also lead her to meet her future American husband Mark on the Greek Island of Paros in 1998. After a 3-year long distance romance, they married and Chantal relocated to California.
Chantal loved her California home and life, and quickly learned to speak English fluently. She went on to form a company called The French Artist Club, importing beautiful cards and gifts from France. She travelled throughout California meeting clients and making many friends.
Chantal is dearly loved by family and friends. She brought a magical touch to all her endeavors and will be sorely missed. She is survived by her husband Mark, her parents Mario and Yvonne Ganci, her brother Patrick, her niece Melanie and her entire California family.
Services will be held on Wednesday, January 2nd, 2019 at 11.00am at St. Callistus Church, 3580 San Pablo Dam Road in El Sobrante, CA.
Chantal's family wishes to thank the incredible staff at UCSF for their care and compassion, and in lieu of flowers request that donations be made to The UCSF Foundation, Cancer Research Program.
