This was just in my email. We need to keep their family in our prayers right now!

Dear Consultant,

It is with great sadness that I tell you of the passing this morning of Maxine Christopher, Jay Christopher’s mother.

As a wife, mother, and grandmother, Mrs. Christopher worked, as many in our Pampered Chef family do, to bring her family together in all ways. She was a devoted mother, steadfast supporter and good friend, who set a wonderful example for us all. We will miss her warmth and her boundless spirit.

Mrs. Christopher always believed in the mission of our organization and was one of Doris’ most vigorous advocates when Doris launched The Pampered Chef® 27 years ago.

There are a number of ways you can support the Christopher family during this time. First and foremost, we ask that you remember them in your thoughts and prayers.

You may send cards to Doris and Jay at The Pampered Chef® Home Office. If you wish to honor Mrs. Maxine Christopher with a remembrance, the family requests donations in lieu of flowers to either Grace Lutheran Church or to Chicago Uptown Ministry at the addresses below. Please include your name and contact information with your donation, and specify that the contribution is in honor of Mrs. Maxine Christopher.

Grace Lutheran Church
7300 Division Street
River Forest, IL 60305
(708) 366-6900

Chicago Uptown Ministry
4720 North Sheridan Road
Chicago, IL 60640
(773) 271-3760

I know the Christopher family appreciates your prayers and support.

Sincerely,

Marla Gottschalk
Chief Executive Officer
The Pampered Chef
