Christina May Read passed away on October 7th, 2014. She was born in London, England on May 28th, 1914, and immigrated to Canada in 1949 to join her sister and family.  Soon after, she applied for work at the greenhouses on Esquimalt Road. Then, in 1955, she married the owner, Cuthbert Read.  She later opened and managed the original Mayfair Florist in Mayfair Mall.  Over the years, Chris enjoyed her flowers, crocheting blankets (giving most away), travel, and crosswords.  Chris was an amazing lady who always had a kind word, gentle way, loving heart, and generous spirit.  She was witty, bright, and happy and was loved by so many and will be missed greatly.

She is survived by her niece, Alannah (Walter) Rebneris and family in Maple Ridge; her niece, Sandra (Pete) Bull and family in England and many relatives in England and Scotland.

A private burial was held at Royal Oak Burial Park.

The family would like to thank Rob and Clare for always looking out for her and to the Victoria General Hospital.
