Christi Coyle died peacefully after a six-month battle with cancer. She was a bright and brilliant shining light to all those lucky enough to know her.
An extremely loyal friend and deep thinker, Christi was always up for adventure. She brought fun wherever she went. Christi loved all animals, especially rabbits. Her favorite rabbit was Ed. Christi was also a magnificent cook. I mourn her loss every day. My world is so much darker without her.
Born in Connecticut, she moved t...o the Bay Area 25 years ago where she found her true home. She always found happiness and passionate inspiration from the beauty of California. Later, she found great joy in beach combing where she lived with her best friend, Jan, in Fort Bragg - hiking the bluffs and working in their beautiful dahlia garden. The sights and sounds of the ocean gave her peace and the redwoods delighted her.
Christi is survived by her parents, Marg and Jim; her Aunt Lin; her sister, Jill; and her best friends, Jan, Kathy and Ceci. Christi was loved and is also mourned by the many around the country she touched throughout her life. We are all diminished by her loss.
