We created this memorial to celebrate the life of Janet “Gracie” Barnes
Christensen and join all who loved her in community. Oh how she will

time with us. She collected us all along the way, touched us all, left
us forever changed for good in what we call “Gracie moments”.
Your “Gracie moments” will bring us all such joy. Please share your
favorites. Then click on the heart to let us know you were here and to

OBITUARY
Janet Gracie Barnes Christensen did not just live, she taught us how
to live as well. More than that, she taught us how to love. Not just
others, but ourselves. She was a go go dancer, a hairdresser, a business
woman, a peace officer. She was a sponsor and a survivor. She was a
teacher and the safest place to laugh or cry. She was so many things.
One wonders how she fit it into the one giant life she lived.
But above all she was Claude and Helens' daughter. She was Danny,
Jamie and Christie's Mother. She was Sadie, Kash and Kyler's Granny. She
was a lover of Jesus, joy, Gods grace and a friend to all who needed
one.
And she always will be.

loved her - I’ll never forget when we married our cars one evening in
1962 on Kenwood Street. Yes we were silly. Such a sweet soul. So sorry
