Funeral rites will be conducted at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the Hugh Christ home, and at 2 o'clock at Grace Methodist Church. Burial will take place in the Greenwood Cemetery.


Surviving, besides her husband Phil Christie of Abbotsford, are her mother, Mrs. Jennie Atkins, Christie her sister, Mrs. Hugh (Loteen) Christie, Greenwood and three brothers, Clifford of the Dakotas, George of Christie, and Leon of Durand. Her father died many years ago.
