Mrs. Kristina Marie McAra of Red Deer, passed away peacefully at Ponoka, Alberta on Monday, February 19, 2024 at the age of 74 years. Kristina was born on October 17, 1949, at Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. She was a “Jack of all Trades” some would say. Kristina was a country girl all around, who had a passion for old school country music. Kristina was a vibrant woman who was keen to all things colorful. Some of her hobbies included crocheting and knitting, and when it came to dancing, she was a free spirit. Kristina will be lovingly remembered by her sons, Rudy Campbell (Marie) of Red Deer, Billy-Joe McLean (Yolande) of Leduc; her daughter, Alexandria Chmil of British Columbia; and her grandchildren, Ashleigh, Faith, Blake, and Piper-Lynn. Kristina will also be sadly missed by her extended family and friends. Kristina was predeceased by her parents, and her husband, Lester McAra. A Come and Go Memorial Tea in Celebration of Kristina’s Life will be held at the Parkland Funeral Home Reception Centre, 6287 – 67 A Street (Taylor Drive), Red Deer, Alberta on Friday, March 1, 2024 at 1:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, if desired, Memorial Donations in Kristina’s honor may be made directly to the Alberta Diabetes Foundation at www.albertadiabetesfoundation.com.
