Christine M. "Chris" (Seabury) Gariepy

Christine Marie “Seabury” Gariepy, 57, of Chicopee, passed away on February 22, 2026, after a brave and courageous battle with cancer.

Christine, lovingly known as Chris, lived her life with faith, strength, and a deep love for those around her. A devoted sister in Christ, her faith was the foundation of her life and a source of comfort and guidance to many. She carried herself with grace and resilience, inspiring others through both her words and her actions.

Chris found joy in life’s simple and beautiful moments. She loved gardening, spending peaceful hours tending to her plants and watching them flourish. She had a spirit of adventure and enjoyed scuba diving, exploring the beauty beneath the sea. She was an avid reader, always eager to learn and grow. Chris also loved long rides on the Harley with Joe and their Christian motorcycle club friends.

Chris was a die-hard fan of the New England Patriots and enjoyed watching football on Sundays. She could often be found by her pool in the summer or relaxing in her hot tub during the winter months.

Above all, Chris cherished her family. She is survived by her beloved husband of 20 years, Joe

Gariepy; her sister, Terry Blanchard of Westfield; her sons, Corey Seabury of Chicopee, Dillon

Gariepy of Westfield, and Ben Gariepy of Westfield; and her daughters, Sarah Gariepy of

Chicopee and Kelly St. Pierre-Rolph of West Springfield. She was adored by her granddaughter, Phoenix Gariepy; her great-nephew, Kingston Cruz; and her great-niece, Carolina Cruz. She loved taking them on special outings and creating cherished memories together.

Chris is also survived by many beloved aunts, cousins, nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

She was predeceased by her father, Edward Seabury; her uncle, Michael Seabury; and her grandparents, Kendall and Virginia Seabury.

Christine will be remembered for her unwavering faith, her adventurous heart, and the deep love she shared with her family and friends. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
