Assistance for the Buckley and Olson families.

Hi, my name is Donna Holm. I am creating this Go Fund Me page in honor of my friend and incredible teaching partner, Kristie (Olson) Buckley. Kristie passed away unexpectedly on Oct. 1 at the age of 64. Some of my best teaching memories are the years Kristie and I taught the Blended 2nd/3rd Grade Program at Glide Elementary School. She was always a helpful, enthusiastic, positive, creative, patient, insightful teaching partner who taught me a great deal and became a wonderful friend.

To help Kristie's family take care of the funeral expenses, I am asking her friends to pitch in whatever amount of money they can. Thank you all very much.

The date and time of her funeral have not yet been decided. And, as Kristie had shared with her family, in place of flowers, she would like those types of donations to be made in her memory to the Glide Education Association Scholarship Fund. Scholarship donations can be mailed to: GEA Scholarship Fund, Attention: Chris Clair, 18990 N. Umpqua Highway, Glide, Oregon, 97443.

Thank you, again. We will all miss Kristie's smile and that twinkle in her eyes!

Donna Holm
