Born in Bathurst she was the daughter of Ned Arsenault and the late Merina (Arseneau) Arsenault. Chris courageously fought her battle with cancer showing enormous dignity, strength and acceptance. Never did she complain and always had the most radiant smile Chris worked for over 25 years as an Emergency Nurse at the Chaleur Regional Hospital and was a integral part of a close knit ER staff who were all there for her in her time of need. She leaves behind her two greatest joys of her life, her loving children; son Andrew Carroll and daughter Allison Carroll, both at home; and her devoted little companion "Fudge".
