Chene was such a lovely person. I knew her through volunteering at the hospital with my dog Jazzy. Chene was so loving, kind and supportive and always looked out for everyone. She always made sure Jazzy could get some water and a bit of a rest after our visits. She also had a Shih Tzu and we shared loving stories of our kids, grandkids and beloved dogs. My condolences to her family and friends. Chene was so well regarded and loved by all who knew her.

I worked with Chene for 10 years. She knew the whole hospital and community and shared her wisdom with all whom she came in contact with. She was an amazing cook, shopper and was dedicated to her husband and family. She saw potential in students and volunteers and inspired them to greatness. Love and prayers to your family Chene, you will be missed.

Dear Nadia and family:
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy as you mourn the loss of your Mother. Moms have such a special place in our hearts so when we say that final farewell, it is so devastating. May cherish memories flood your mind and your heart so that you are able to sense her near always.
I pray you are able to feel God's embrace, holding you close, providing comfort, peace and strength to endure this time of sorrow.
Know that you are thought of and prayed for today and in the days ahead.
Respectfully,
Kim Pierce (Brian - TCL)

So sorry to hear about Chene
I’ve known her through her various medical positions for 30 years
Always met for ‘break’ at CKHA. I was happy for her when she retired but did not expect this
We always talked about the Grandkids and which were the best warm socks

Chene was incredibly kind and warm-hearted. She will always have a special place in my heart. I have known Chene for 20 years. I stated volunteering at the CKHA at the age of 13. Chene welcomed me with open arms, and encouraged me to spend time volunteering in the emergency department. I loved it. So much so, that I am now an Emergency Physician at the CKHA. I owe that to Chene. I am so sorry for your loss.
