Gay was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother, and grandma the great. She was a devoted wife to the love of her life, Robert (Bob) for 54 years. She took pride in his service to our county and as a wife of a sailor. She was a caring mom of 4 children, as well as all of the neighborhood kids. She often volunteered as a room mother and Girl Scout leader. Gay was very active in her churches, as a member and Sunday school teacher. When she wasn't caring for the children, you could find her tending to her front yard. She loved to garden and had a green thumb. It was no Suprise to drive by and find the Yard of the Month sign displayed in her yard. Later in life, she enjoyed traveling and lunching with the Red Hat Society. Health permitting, Bob and she would travel to the annual Catamount Reunions. Gay may have been small in stature, but she loved fiercely and was always known for her smile. She will be missed by many.
Gay was predeceased by her husband Robert Wiles Christian and daughter Deborah Rauch (Fred).
She is survived by her twin brother Jay Brown, children Jayne Ellis (R. Wayne), Wayne Christian (Sherry), Lori Solado, 9 grandchildren Bill Rauch, Tara Ellis, Angela Jones, Brad Rauch, Megan Ellis Allahverdian, Brian Rauch, Joe Ellis, John MacLeod, Scott MacLeod; and many great grandchildren.
