Jean Anne Christie age 77 of Wayne died Tuesday, August 8, 2006 at the Llanfair House Nursing Home in Wayne.
She was born in Hackensack and had lived in Maywood, Allendale and Ridgewood before moving to Pines Lake section of Wayne twenty-five years ago.

She was a member of the Pines Lake Woman’s Club, the Pines Lake Seniors and the Wooden Canoe Heritage Association.
Richard and Jean Anne Christie had a “wonderful” marriage together for fifty-two years.
Her children will always remember her loving and nurturing ways. She was always there with loving concern for her children. Her daughter Martha especially appreciated how her mother taught her how to fast pitch a baseball.She was a big Yankee fan, an avid reader and delighted all with her sense of humor.
Jean Anne’s hobby was making porcelain dolls which included fine and very detailed needle work creating clothing, flowers and other decorations by hand.
Surviving are her loving husband Richard W. Christie; one son Douglas W. Christie and his wife Michelle of Wayne; two daughters Susan E. Christie of Ardmore, Pennsylvania and Martha A. Shankler of Matamoras, Pennsylvania; one brother Edward Grebenstein and his wife Barbara of Williamsport, Maryland; one sister in law Doris Grebenstein of Fort Myers, Florida; four grandchildren Erin, Blair and Laura Christie and David Shankler.
