It is with great sadness that we share the news that our colleague Chris Parson passed away on Wednesday, 23 November, surrounded by her family.
Chris, who had been diagnosed with cancer, had been a much-valued member of the Museum’s team as a Site Cleaner, a role she had held since 2016.
Throughout the last 18 months of her illness, Chris’s optimism and positivity were truly inspirational. Up until very recently, Chris had been holding on to the hope of returning to her role at the Museum, and even visited the Museum as recently as last month.
Chris was a fun character to be around and she will be very much missed by all those that had the privilege to know her.
Our thoughts are with Chris’s family at this difficult time, especially her daughter Emma, who had previously worked on the Museum’s reception desk in Rolfe Street.
