Christe Leja

LEJA, Christie Michelle - It is with profound sorrow that we share the news of the sudden passing of our beautiful daughter Christie, in her 31st year.

Christie was adored and is survived by her parents George and Lisa and her beloved brother Ben. She also leaves behind family and friends who loved her so much.

Christie just completed the requirements of her Photojournalism program at Loyalist College. She always loved photographs, recording memories, and loved the moments captured and stories told. Her first front page photo was published in the Gravenhurst Banner May 5 .

Christie shone with the brightest light. She loved all her people fiercely and was so deeply loved in return. We are all heartbroken.

Should you like to make a donation in her memory please forward a cheque to Tweed and Area Heritage Centre, 40 Victoria St, Tweed Ontario K0K 3J0.

Funeral service will be held at Ward Funeral Home, 2035 Weston Rd, Toronto, on Saturday May 14. Visitation at  2:30 pm, service at 3:30 pm. Please come as you are, and wear a mask.
