Christine "Chris" Evelyn Trueblood

Dec 29, 1954 -

Nov 15, 2025

Christine "Chris" Evelyn Trueblood was a beloved member of the Anchorage, Alaska, community since the late 1960s. In November 2025, Chris passed away with her family by her side, in Tacoma Wash., after a long battle against cancer. A daughter, mother, grandmother and recent great-grandmother, Chris is deeply missed.

Born in Washington, Chris and her siblings moved North in 1962, and grew up near Tok, Alaska. She later welcomed her children in Anchorage and raised them between Sterling and Anchorage in the late '70s and '80s. In her early adulthood, Chris changed many young women's lives as a Girl Scout Leader, guiding them to be strong, smart and appreciate nature. Later, Chris was a pillar in the Alaska insurance community for more than 34 years at The Insurance Center in Anchorage. Whether over the phone, fax, in trainings, conventions, meetings, a ride from the airport, dinner or drinks, Chris was endlessly available, kind and generous with her expertise. Chris was a great party planner, and she loved decorating and dressing up for every occasion, whether for Halloween or simply for fun. Chris retired in 2022, having made lasting connections all over Alaska.

Chris loved birds and birdwatching, especially chickadees. She enjoyed puzzles and games, she was an avid reader and liked her shows, particularly comedy, romance, mystery and cooking. She loved spending time with her family and traveling whenever possible.

She will be remembered every day and missed dearly.

She is survived by her mother, Valda; children, Cynthia and James; grandchildren, Mariah, Synette and Julian; great-grandchild, Lily; as well as her siblings, Bill, Kevin, Kathy, Mary, Jerry and Alan.

Chris was cremated and will be interred at The Orting Cemetery in Orting, Wash., as were her wishes.
