Her family invites you to celebrate her life on Saturday, July 27, 2019, at 2:00 p.m. at Curvin K. Council Funeral Home, 128 Dwight St., New Haven. We will gather at 1:30 p.m. and the program begins at 2:00 p.m. This will be a celebration of life, not a funeral, and we ask all who attend to wear something purple, her favorite color. We will be doing a photo montage memorial to her. If you have an image of her that you’d like to share with us please email it to DUMILEWIS@GMAIL.COM by Tuesday (7/23) at 8:00 pm. A repast will follow at a location to be announced.
Our most sincere condolences. May God grant you all much comfort. We shall always fondly remember Chris.
