Christie Ralph Dame, 50, of Owensboro died Sunday, July 11, 2021 after an illness. Christie was short – definitely in height, often in patience – but she was larger than life. If you were blessed enough to know her, you were regaled with funny stories and so many opinions, about everything from Blake Shelton’s relationship with Gwen Stefani (hated it) to wearing pants (hated it even more). Everyone in her family secretly considered Christie to be their favorite family member. She will be remembered for tattling on her brother to get herself out of trouble, dueting “Love Shack” with her sister, dominating on Rook at her Mom and Dad’s game nights, but mostly for loving her “Marky,” her daughter Ashton, and her three granddaughters Emersyn, Everly and Salem.
Christie was preceded in death by her grandparents, notably her Pappaw Edward Cauley who liked to sneak her coffee as a child.
Christie is survived by her husband Mark Dame, daughter Ashton (Wendell) Wood, parents Bill and Melva Hagan, brother Steve (Sonya) Ralph, sister Angie (Robert) Chinn, and precious granddaughters Emersyn, Everly and Salem Wood.
Services will be held 4:00 pm Thursday, July 15, 2021 at Haley McGinnis Funeral Home & Crematory. Visitation will be from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm Wednesday, and again from 1:00 pm until the time of service at the funeral home.
Christie was not tolerant of emotional reactions and she would want anyone crying over her passing to “get over it.”
Haley McGinnis Funeral Home & Crematory is both honored and privileged to be entrusted with the care of Mrs. Dame. Share your messages of condolence with the family of Christie Ralph Dame and sign her virtual guestbook by going to www.haleymcginnis.com
