Christine Millet Obituary
She is survived by her children Deborah Bryan, David Bryan, Rachael and Nick Wolfgang, and Madeline and Timothy Cooper. She is also survived by a grandson, David Robinson, whose presence brightened her final days.
Christine was an artist by nature, and enjoyed writing, drawing, and theater. She was the proprietor of a second-hand childrens' clothing shop, "Reruns for Wee Ones." Her other passions included antiquing and gardening. She enjoyed volunteering for multiple organizations, including Salvation Army, until her illness prevented her from doing so.
Above all else, Christine was dedicated to raising her children. She struggled toward this end with limited resources and against overwhelming odds. For her courage, humor and strength, as well as the gifts of compassion and hope she bestowed upon her children, she will be remembered eternally with respect, gratitude and, above all else, love.

I was saddened to hear of Christine's passing. We met at the Eugene Friends Meeting, and she saw to it that all of her children had music lessons with me, whether they lasted only a couple of months, or several years.
That passion and devotion to her chldren was inspiring to me, knowing the hardships she endured.
I'm honored to have known her.

I love you mom. I miss you. I wish I could have another hug from you or a kiss. I wish I could snuggle next to you and have you tell me "everything's going to be alright." It feels like I have so little to remember you by.It's sad for me to think that you will never meet any of my children on this earth and that they will never meet you or hear any of your jokes or stories. You were an amazing mom. I love you

Christine was my best friend through highschool and beyond. When our oldest were born, we joked about making an arranged marriage between them. We exchanged Christmas gifts for years, using the same box with only the label updated, each of us urging the other to moved closer but neither willing to do so. I have been searching for her for some time through the internet, not realizing she had reverted to her maiden name. My brother sent me the link to this obituary, and I am grateful he did. I hope to see her in Heaven, my dear friend.

Christine, I've always cherished our days of sharing stories, hunting for treasures left behind by others, and laughing spontaneously and uproariously at one another and, ultimately at ourselves – the best part. You were vivacious, a bit outrageous, and fun!
I enjoyed your four children and have a special place in my heart for Madeline, the baby of the family – a place I hold in my family.
I feel like I *really* knew you - and appreciated you anyway. :) Your honesty was inspiring, and still is - even to this day. I recall you insisting on giving my friend, Bob, more money for his yard sale items, saying, “I need to pay more than this because I'm buying to resell.” How many people do that?!
We had crazy, innocent fun on our planned nighttime outings, which always ended with long discussions afterwards, going over all the angles of what we didn't learn or find.
Even though we differed in our political views, we always shared our hopes and aspirations.
Your life centered around giving your children the best you could, especially encouraging their success in education. I know they must be as proud of you as you of them.
Deborah, Rachael, David and Madeline: you're very fortunate to have had such a devoted, loving and lovable mom. I'm sorry for your loss, but you have your mom's love for life. Cherish that and pass it on to those deserving ones in your midst.
Love, Sherry >^_^<

I hold dear the happy moments I shared Christine; competing at garage sales to snatch up the treasures, laughing at her jokes, watching her interact with her daughter. Goodbye Christine, you did well.

Dear Mom: I miss you so much already. Every corner I turn in this city, I recall being there with you. You gave us so much light and brightness, so much hope, and the courage to believe in our dreams, even when we doubted ourselves. You will never meet any of my children, but if I can instill in them one ounce of your courage, liveliness, humor, love, and spirit, than I will consider myself blessed.
Thank you, Mom, for giving me life, for blessing me with three wonderful siblings. I know you have finally found the peace you so deserve. I love you.

I knew Christine from Garage sales and as at the antique shop where we both were venders.
She was a beautiful and caring person with a brilliant mind and a passion for the poor. She loved her children and was so proud of them. I will never forget the happy fun times we had garage saleing and antique junking together and just laughing on the phone. I wish we had not lost touch.
Christine, I know you loved the Lord and he is happy that you are with him now. I will miss you.

Christine was a very sweet, kind woman who always put her bike on my LTD bus. One of my favorite passengers. I knew she was very sick and she told me she had cancer. But she never complained and she was brave to the end. I will miss her.

I knew Christine at Liberation House and she has had a profound influence on my life. We were close to her when she gave birth to her first child Deborah (my name also). I saw Deborah two decades later at the San Fransisco Airport and recognized her immediately.
I knew Christine struggled as a single mother of children she loved so deeply and passionately. She was a model of courage, integrity and faith. Her work as a gleaner inspires me today in my community work to advance food skills among low income people and in healing our broken food system. Christine is one of the most impacting people I've known in my life. I know there are eternal songs of praise happening in God's glory for this precious human being. I pray joy, peace, and capacity for her precious children.
