Kathy (Lillig) Christie, 71, of West Hartford died June 27, 2019. She was the loving wife of Paul Christie, mother of Kysa and Cara Christie, and daughter of Melvin and the late Catherine Lillig. She was born in Fort Dodge, Iowa and moved to California after high school. Throughout her life she was drawn to roles that guided and supported others, from serving as the first women’s Rehabilitation Officer for the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s office, to 19 years as counselor to au pairs and families in CT, and returning to school to become an Occupational Therapist to help elderly patients retain independence. Her never-ending thirst for travel and exploration took her on countless adventures with Paul and family, including trips to California, Hawaii, Europe and New Zealand. She is survived by Paul, Kysa (wife Lauren & son Harrison), Cara (wife Jar & son Hoban), father Mel, sisters Diane, Margo, Marcia and their families, and mentor & friend Charlotte Bacon. A service will be held at the Unitarian Society of Hartford (50 Bloomfield Ave, Hartford) on July 16 at 11am. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration or Alzheimer’s Association. Her family would like to thank the caregivers at Arden Courts of Farmington and McLean Hospice Care for their tender and attentive care.
