Annette Christian

This morning we received the sad news that Annette Christian had passed away last night, June 24, a short while before midnight. Annette had a long struggle with cancer, finally culminating in a number of brain tumors that proved fatal. Last week she was taken home from the hospital to be under hospice care. Her family was hopeful that she might recover, but also mindful that she might not. Our pastor described her passing as “bitter-sweet”; although she will be dearly missed by everyone, we are glad she is no longer suffering.

Annette was married to Jay Christian, one of our staff at 3ABN Radio; her daughter Cari also works at 3ABN, and Annette herself had worked at 3ABN in various capacities up through the early stages of her disease.
