HIGHGATE - Christie Carole Messeck, age 68, passed away on Monday, November 9, 2026 surrounded by loved ones at the Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans.

She was born December 6, 1957 in St. Albans to the late Kenneth & Melba (Demar) Gabaree.

Christie worked as a deli manager at South Main Grocery where she met the love of her life, Myron. They were together for 36 years, 33 of which they were married. A few years into their marriage, they had their daughter Miranda. Once Miranda was a few years old, Christie became a stay-at-home mom. She was an amazing mother who Miranda and her friends were thankful to have. Christie was an incredibly strong woman who endured a lot of pain and health problems throughout her life.
