Kerry Christie, RIP
Issued on June 28, 2011 at 11:08 AM
It is with profound sadness that we have learned of the death of our colleague, Kerry Christie, late last night. A member of the Union's Executive Committee, the Joint Chair of the RBS European Works Council and a former IBOA Ulster Bank Officer, Kerry had been battling cancer with remarkable courage over the last year. However, her brave fight has now come to an end.
IBOA General Secretary, Larry Broderick, has expressed the Union's heartfelt condolences to Kerry's family and friends, and to her wider family in Ulster Bank and throughout IBOA. "We are mourning an inspirational colleague and a most loyal friend," he said.
Kerry's funeral will take place on Friday, July 1 at 11am at Roselawn Crematorium, 27 Ballygowan Road, Crossnacreevy, Belfast, BT5 7UD (entry is via Ballygowan Road).
Kerry's family have asked that instead of wreaths or flowers, well-wishers might like to consider making a charitable donation. Kerry's sister, Megan, is due to take part in the Race for Life in Portsmouth on July 24 to raise funds for cancer research. She will now also be running in Kerry's memory.
