Honoring Christie & Supporting Carley and Family
It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of a truly remarkable woman, Christie — a mother, grandmother, sister, and friend who touched countless lives with her warmth, strength, and unwavering care for others.
In February , Christie received a sudden and devastating cancer diagnosis. In a matter of weeks, everything changed. Despite her strength and the love surrounding her, it was too late for treatment, and she passed far too quickly. The loss is profound, and the grief is immeasurable.
Christie was the kind of person who showed up for everyone — always putting others first, offering comfort, love, and kindness in a way that made people feel seen and cared for. Her legacy lives on in the many lives she impacted so deeply.
Her daughter, Carley, is now navigating an unimaginable loss while supporting her own family through this incredibly difficult time.
In the coming weeks, Carley will be planning a burial in Oceanside, where Christie will be laid to rest with her mother and her beloved nephew Blake. She will also be organizing a celebration of Christie’s life so that all who loved her can come together to honor the incredible person she was.
Many of you are asking how you can help. This fund is one way to support Carley and her family — to ease the financial burden, and to give them the space to grieve without added stress.
More than anything, this is about surrounding Carley with the same love and care that Christie so freely gave to others.
If you’re able to contribute, thank you. If not, sharing this page and keeping Carley and her family in your thoughts means just as much.
Let’s come together to honor Christie’s life and lift up the family she loved so deeply.
