After a short but aggressive battle with cancer, Christa Emilia Villard (73), beloved wife of the late Serge Paul Villard, passed away at Southlake Regional Health Center, Newmarket on Thursday, September 2, 2021.
Loving mother of Paul Villard and his wife Theresa Villard, Tina Villard and her husband Kenneth Camp, Charlie (Martin) Villard and his wife Cara Bartlett. Cherished grandmother of Abigail(19), Jakob(17), Alexa(13), Maximilian(11), Kennady(12), Brooke(9) and Zoe(5). Dear sister of Marlene Philibert and predeceased by brother Eric Feldl.
Christa was an accomplished baker, dumpling maker, gardener and great listening ear to family and friends. For over 30 years she enjoyed working in the banking industry with the CIBC and the RBC as the Branch Operations Manager in Kleinburg. Recently her love for Missy, her miniature schnoodle, brought comfort and happiness in her last year.
The family extends their deep gratitude to the nurses and doctors at Southlake Regional Health Centre in the Cancer Centre for their kindness, compassion and joviality during this very difficult time.

Sincere sympathy to Christa’s family. We enjoyed her and Serge in the Cedar Mills bridge group many years ago. Christa was always welcoming when we met in the years when we lived on Palmer Circle. Our children played with Charlie, Paul and Tina.

Wishing the entire Villard Family our deepest condolences in the passing of your Mother and Grandmother. Christa was a very dear friend. I will truly miss our weekly lunches, shopping expeditions, travels and just her ear to listen. So many memories made over the years. Rest In Peace My friend. Thank you for your friendship.

Paul, Tina, Charlie,
It is with sadness that I read of Christa’s passing. For many years, I was one of the Cedar Mills group and that is, of course, how I knew Christa. We met in the mid 70’s when we were out walking (pushing a stroller or carriage I think). I remember Christa working at the Royal Bank in Bolton. Rest In Peace Christa!

We always enjoyed your mom’s visits to Houston. We will miss her jokes, her wit, her animated conversations at your kitchen table. May your rest peacefully, Christa. Sending all of the Villard family, extended family, and friends our condolences, love, and hugs.

Was a pleasure to get to know all of you during the last few weeks being a part of her care team.
Loved our trips on the patio or just sitting in the room giggling and chatting.
