Born in Dornoch, Scotland to William and Annie Douglas, Chris was an excellent student and older sister to Nan and Margaret. After relocating to Tidworth, England with her family as a young woman, Chris met James Samuel "Sam" Marshall, a U.S. serviceman, at a "sweetheart dance" during World War II. The two fell in love, married on August 5, 1944, and moved to Rocky Mount, VA. They eventually settled in Roanoke, VA with their daughters, Sandra and Deedy. After Sam's death, Chris learned to drive, became an LPN and worked at Jefferson Surgical Clinic. She was an excellent cook, was devoted to her church and loved a good book with a hot cup of tea.
In addition to her two daughters, Chris is survived by a son-in-law, Wes; four grandchildren, Elizabeth, Chad (Nenden), Christina (Darrin) and Kelli; two great-grandchildren, Landon and Listrik; and a long-term companion, Joe Burhman.
