Kristine Claire Wasser's Obituary
Kristine Claire Wasser (formerly McIntyre) September 12, 1953 – February 14, 2025. With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Kristine Claire Wasser, who left us suddenly during a happy Valentine's evening with a lifelong friend. She passed away quickly into the arms of Jesus who she loved. Born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on September 12, 1953, Kristy lived a life full of adventure, creativity, and love. Kristy spent much of her childhood in Halifax, Nova Scotia and Sauble Beach, Ontario - places that held carefree childhood memories. She attended the Nova Scotia College of Art that established the foundation for her lifelong career as an interior designer. Her keen eye for design and impeccable taste brought beauty into countless spaces. Decorating for all holidays was her “hobby,” and Kristy had an extraordinary gift, turning every inch of a home into breathtaking masterpieces that could rival the grandeur of the Biltmore.
Kristy’s creative talents have earned her top recognition, including Best Holiday Display in the State of Florida for Mervyn’s Department Store and multiple 1st Place Costume Awards at her daughter’s dance competitions. She also spent three years as the Production Coordinator at the Ft. Lauderdale Children’s Theatre, bringing stories to life on stage.
Her creativity extended beyond the spotlight—Danielle and Blake’s school projects were so impressive they could have been showcased at the World’s Fair. One teacher even sent a note home: “Great job, Mom—A+!”
Before and after raising her children, Kristy found joy in the skies, working for many years as a flight attendant. Her love for travel and meeting people from all walks of life made every journey an adventure.
Above all, Kristy cherished her family. She was a devoted mother to her two children, Danielle Edwards (Tim) and Joseph Blake Wasser (Ally), and a proud grandmother to Clara and Olivia, who brought her endless joy. She shared a special bond with her sister, Stacey McIntyre, and her brother, Stephen McIntyre. She was the beloved daughter of Kevin and Sonya McIntyre, whose love and guidance shaped her into the incredible woman she was. Kristy’s warmth, creativity, and kindness touched everyone who knew her. Whether through her design work, her travels, or simply her laughter in the company of friends and family, she left an imprint lives around her.
Kristy’s legacy of love and childlike holiday spirit will live on in our hearts every Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and even St. Patrick's Day!
A celebration of life gathering will be held for close family and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Wings Foundation - a charity that almost touches everything Kristy was passionate about.
Kristy was an organ donor. To further honor her memory, consider becoming an organ donor too. Her contribution of becoming an organ donor allowed her to extend her kindness to a perfect stranger and their families, giving a priceless lifelong gift that will endure.
