Sherrie Toti Johnson asked me to share the following information with you about memorials for Mae Christensen who passed away on December 15:
There will be two events, both on Friday, January 15.
1) The internment of George and Mae Christensen (with full military honors for George) on Friday, January 15, at 2pm (please be there by 1:50 as the ceremony will begin promptly at 2pm), at the Sacramento Valley National Cemetery, 5810 Midway Road, Dixon, CA 95620 (phone 606 693-2460). The gate attendant will tell you which lane to go in to meet at either committal shelter 1 or 2. The ceremony will last 30 minutes. All are welcome, no limit, and no reservations. Just please be there by 1:50pm. At 4pmyou can go back to the cemetery and visit the graveside, if you desire.
2) Memorial service/reception for Mae Christensen, Friday, January 15 at 6pm at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church Recreation Hall. The church is located at 320 Montrose Drive, Folsom, CA. Please RSVP as soon as possible to Debi Christensen Thomas atkayakndeb@gmail.com or (530) 220-3765 (text or call and please leave a message if it goes to voice-mail.)
A light buffet dinner and non-alcohol beverages will be served. Everyone is welcome, RSVP is to ensure enough food and beverages are available. If you didn't RSVP by Friday, come anyway.
There is no service, just remembering and celebrating her life. There will be an extensive slide show and time for anyone to stand up and say something special about her life.
Please come to one of both events. Mae was a wonderful soul and will be missed. All her children and most of her grandchildren and great grandchildren will be there. We hope we see you all there.
