    Bernice Rosella Fisher and Harvey Leon Christian ... divorced and both remarried, producing no new offspring.  Only the youngest two daughters are living, both in Norman.

    1. Grover Cleveland Christian (1940-2012) married Martha Joyce Hodge (b. 1940), producing three children: Scott (b. 1961), Steven (b.1962) and Jeffrey (born circa 1966 and died circa 1994)

    2. Patrician Ann Christian-Young-Keesee (1941-2005) married Richard Lee Young (I don't remember him) producing three living children: Richard, Jr. (b. April 14, 1965), Edward (born circa 1966), and Gaylon (born 1970).

    3. Richard Donald Christian (1943-2015) married Pearl Gould (b. 1942).  He has four living offspring, I think all of whom are from Pearl.  I've met them all, but did not grow up with them, so haven't mastered the dates.  They are Richard Christian, Jr., Nadine Christian, Julene Christian-Todd, and Shelley Christian-Chamberlain.

    4. Vernon Garth Christian (1945-2007) married Donna Pigorsch (will have to track down dates and maiden name.  Pigorsch was previous marriage, I believe).  Aunt Donna had two older children (Ronnie and Christina), who were raised by Uncle Vernon but not his offspring.  Together, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Donna produced two living children together: Vernon Garth Christian, Jr. (b. 1972) and Brenda Ranelle Christian-Hogue-Mitchell (born circa 1979).

    5. Mary Sue Christian (b. 1948) married Larry Varner (b. 1946) producing two living children: Larry, Jr. (b. 1970) and Jan Varner - Serrate (b. 1971)

    6. Sally Sue Christian-McDonald-Morris (b. February 16, 1953) married Robert Lynn McDonald (b. December 14, 1940), producing two children together: Robert Lynn McDonald, Jr (b. April 14, 1969) and myself: David Benjamin McDonald, Sr. (b. April 23, 1971).
