Harriet Christie Obituary

Harriet P. Christie
June 6, 1935 - February 25, 2019
Harriet P. Christie of Modesto fell asleep on Monday, February 25th and is now in God's loving care. Born in Ely, Nevada she graduated from Westminster College in Salt Lake City. She moved to Modesto in 1957 to start a teaching career with the Modesto City Schools. Shortly thereafter, she was introduced to a man named Chris W. Christie through a close friend at the Greek Orthodox Church in Modesto. They fell in love and were married in 1958 at the Greek Church. She was involved in the church's Ladies Philoptochos Society, helping to bake goods for the annual food festival and for numerous other church and community events. Harriet enjoyed raising four boys, playing golf and tennis, traveling and attending family gatherings.
She loved to make homemade Greek dishes such as dolmathes, pastitsio, spanakopita and her grandkids favorite veggie lasagna. She always had baked goods such as koulourakia, peanut butter balls and homecured olives for family, friends and neighbors who came to visit.
She was preceded in death by her husband of 55 years Chris W. Christie, her sister Nina (Bud) of Ely, Nevada, brother Paul of Reno, Nevada and sister Evangeline (Daniel) of Reno, Nevada. She is survived by her brother Mike Pavlakis (Karen) of Carson City, Nevada and her four sons Chris Jr., Greg (Sharon), Bill and Michael (Janelle) along with five grandchildren Gregory, Robbie, Erin, Jason and Thomas.
