In Memory

Chris Akerly (Chesser)

Chris Akerly (Chesser)

As we were unable to find an obituary for Christine, the information below was provided by her former husband, Jim Chesser.

Chris was born 9-20-1951 to Edgar and Edna Akerly.  She also had a brother, Jeff Akerly.  After graduating from Shawnee Mission South, Chris attended K State for 1 year and then transferred to KU Medical Center where she studied nursing and earned her LPN license.  After nursing school, she married Jim Chesser, who was still a student at Baker University, and they made their home in Baldwin, Kansas., where Chris worked as a nurse.  After Jim's graduation, they moved to Colorado Springs, then to Boulder and Ft Collins, where she had their son Bryan, and eventually to Deming, New Mexico for Jim's job.  Chris and Jim then separated and she moved with Bryan back to Colorado Springs, where she passed away June 4, 1981 after a short illness.

 

Her son Bryan Chesser sent me a note and wanted us all to know how grateful he and his family are that we have included these words about his mother.  Bryan, who was six years old when his mother passed away, said, "Although I unfortunately lost my mother too early to have known her, I have felt her loving/protective presence throughout my life in spirit."

Rest in Peace, Chris Akerly Chesser

Thank you and Chris' family for sharing these comments.

Chris was a lovely person -- a warm and friendly presence, with a beautiful smile and those deep brown eyes.  She was comforable to spend time with and easy to talk to.  I miss her.
