Alice Christine Misich (Long)
February 1936 to August 2012
Christine left this world to go to a much better place after a long battle with health issues.
She leaves behind her loving husband, friend, companion of nearly 50 years Fredrick J. Misich. Son George Timothy August (wife Jennifer and grandchildren Danielle and Elizabeth), Daughter Lysa Gearhart-Blake (August). Grandson James-Michael (wife Elaine). Sister and best friend Jeanie Middlebrook (husband Lee). She also leaves behind numerous nephews, nieces, and friends.
She was the daughter of Brit and Selma Laura Crawford Long. She is proceeded in death by her parents and the following siblings: N.B. (B-Bob) Long, Bobby Long, Harold Guy Long, James (Odie) Long, Jerry (Donald) Long, Alvin Long, Bill Long (wife Nina), Margaret Long Brooks and Dorothy Long Witman.
Chris had a way about her that she could always make you laugh. Her sense of humor was evident even to the very end….i.e., a nurse was trying to check her blood sugar and was having some difficulty when my dad said to my mom to just relax and give the nurse her finger and, well, she did….but it wasn’t the finger we were expecting, it was her ‘middle finger’ she felt to give…..I still smile when I think about that.
Chris could appear to be a ‘hard nut to crack’ but in all reality she had a heart that was loving and giving. She would see a person in need and if she was able to help them she would do so and usually without the person who was receiving the help ever knowing that she was the one that had helped them.
If you were fortunate enough to have been a part of Chris’ life then you walked away a better person. She lived a good long life and was always there to encourage you or try and cheer you up if needed. In a word…..she was my Mom, my friend, my mentor. This world was lucky enough to have had her. Her friends will have memories to last a lifetime. Those she loved, well the love will NEVER end…she will ALWAYS be there in your heart and memories. When you feel like you are missing her too much, just think back on a time that you were with her and you will smile!!!
Graveside funeral services will be held at 10:30 A.M. Tuesday, Aug. 7, in Jacksonville National Cemetery with Rev. Brandon Witt officiating. Visitation will be from 6 to 7 P.M. Monday, Aug. 6, at GUERRY FUNERAL HOME, 2659 S.W. Main Blvd., Lake City, Fla. www.guerryfuneralhome.net
