Mrs. Crissie Spokes passed away on December 17, 2016 at the Yorkton & District Nursing Home, Yorkton, SK. Crissie was born in the Crescent District on February 23, 1919; a daughter to parents, Edward and Alice (nee Allin) Brimacombe. Criss was educated at Crescent School and later in life she completed high school by correspondence. On January 20, 1939, she was united in marriage to Horace Spokes. They farmed in the Crescent District and raised five children. They moved to Yorkton in 1966. Horace and Criss were very active at Knox Presbyterian Church and met many friends through the church. Crissie was always busy knitting and crafting, and she shared this enthusiasm by leading an Explorer Group at the church and knitting for her children and grandchildren. She also knit toques for the newborns at the Yorkton Regional Health Centre. Crissie loved to sing and was sure to be in the front row of every service and sing-a-long or even just singing and humming in her room. She spent many hours in the final years of her life solving crossword puzzles, playing solitaire and watching the world go by her window at the nursing home. Crissie was predeceased by her parents; her husband, Horace in 1983; her daughter, Linda in 1946; her sisters, Clara Bazeley and Joice Maddaford; grandson, Kevin Spokes and son-in-law, Doug McInnes.

Her many grandchildren and great-grandchildren will also greatly miss her. In accordance with Crissie's wishes, cremation has taken place and a service to celebrate her life will be held at a later date. Friends so wishing may forward their condolences to the family by visiting . Funeral arrangements were entrusted to Christie's Funeral Home & Crematorium, Yorkton, Saskatchewan.
