Barbie Christie is a “forever person” in my life’s memories. My Mother, Sydney, was also a Junior Leaguer and a ferocious needleworks woman, just like Barbie. The Christie family were in my earliest childhood memories as a fun-loving and vivacious group of people. The paths of their eldest daughter, Karen, and myself separated when I left Calgary and rejoined when we both lived in Ottawa working with the federal government. That friendship has been a joy to me over the years.
Barbie was always a welcoming, elegantly hospitable woman, full of spirit. She will be missed by those who knew her. I know her family was an amazing support to their Mother as the years took their inevitable toll on her, as they do with each of us. Dear Christie family, you were always walking in grace with and for your Mom. May you be blessed.
Love and light to you all, Susan Turner
