Christine Scott, 74, passed away on Monday, November 2, after a full life filled with family and friends. Born on September 17, 1952, in New Jersey, Chris enjoyed active pursuits such as swimming, kayaking, and cross-country skiing. She loved spending time on the beach and in the water, especially in Stone Harbor, N.J., which she viewed as a second home. She treasured her family and her cats. Dedicated to helping people, Chris worked as a dietician and an exercise physiologist. In 2014, she and her husband Mike moved from New Jersey to Sheffield to run the Staveleigh House Bed and Breakfast. While running Staveleigh House, she continued her work in dietetics, this time at Volunteers in Medicine in Great Barrington. Chris was an active member of her church, both in New Jersey and at the First Congregational Church of Sheffield. She took on many volunteer rolls throughout the years, such as leadership committees, fundraising, and outreach.
