Nancy Chickite (Kirkpatrick)

April 11, 1949 - March 1, 2025

In loving memory ~

It is with heavy, broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear Nancy on Saturday March 1, 2025.

She was predeceased by her parents Lewis and Mabel Kirkpatrick, brother Jack (Jean) and brother-in-law Jim. She is also predeceased by in-laws Arthur Chickite (Margaret), Charlene, nephew Robert Chickite and brother-in-law Les Pidcock.

Nancy is survived by her loving husband Arnold Chickite and devoted loving son Jonathan Chickite (Gabe), her sister Marianna Murphy, niece Cheryl Murphy (Bernie), nephews John (Danielle) and Robert Murphy, brothers-and-sisters in-laws Lorraine, Richard (Suzie), John, Ken (Dawn), Barbara (Stan), Gerry (Helen), Elvis (Karen), Howard, Lloyd (Lorie), and numerous nieces and nephews. She will also be fondly remembered for her maternal bond among the many children she offered compassion to.

Nancy was married 55 years, and she was a fisherwoman for life, gillnetting on their boat, the Native Pride, along the coast of BC. She loved living on Quadra but left the island to travel places like Reno and her favourite destination, Hawaii. She loved to play Bingo, watch Wheel of Fortune in the evening and she loved her animals, she will be sorely missed by her cat, Boots. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Her service will be held on March 15th, 2025 at Cape Mudge Hall, 1pm.

Many heartfelt thanks to the nurses, care aides and staff of the Campbell River Hospital for their loving compassion and care.
