Cristie was an amazing daughter, wife, sister, grandmother and friend.

She loved fishing even though she hated touching the worms and fish that she caught. Cristie will be missed madly, but her spirit will resonate through all who she touched.

Cristie’s celebration of life will be at their home in March with their family and closest friends.
