Christine “Kiki” Grinsted
Dec. 3, 1962 – September 10, 2024 It is with great sadness that we announce
the passing of Christine “Kiki” Grinsted, beloved daughter, sister, mother and friend, who left us too soon. Born on December 3, 1962, Kiki grew up in both Tsawwas- sen B.C. and California, bringing a bright light into the lives of everyone she met. Kiki was the cherished daughter of Mar- rianne and William, and a loving sister to her brothers Robert “Bob” and Bill, and her sister Stephani. She was the devoted mother of two beautiful children, Cierra “Cece” and Nicholas “Nicky,” who were the center of her world.
Kiki had a creative soul and a passion for art. She was known for her love of food and wine, often indulging in her favorite
cheeses. A true foodie, Kiki’s zest for life was contagious, and she found joy in every moment. Her love for animals was undeni- able, and she cared deeply for the creatures she encountered.
Though she lived a mostly private life, Kiki was also social and the life of the par- ty, always bringing laughter and fun to ev- ery gathering. A free spirit at heart, Kiki embraced life with optimism and kind- ness, always living in the moment. She was fashionable and full of humor, with a deep appreciation for nostalgia and music. Kiki had a generous and giving heart, always thinking of others with empathy and love. Her headstrong nature made her a force to be reckoned with, yet she was a beacon of warmth and well-wishing for her loved ones.
Kiki adored traveling, exploring new places, and immersing herself in new ex- periences. She also loved to shop and could be found frequently making lists for the next spree. More than anything, family was her priority, and her love for them was unwavering.
Her vibrant spirit will forever live on in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be deeply missed by all who had the privi- lege of knowing her.
“She sleeps in peace. The sleeping prin- cess forever dreams over all of us.”
