Chie Langley

A celebration of life will be held at 2pm on Monday, January 6, 2020 at Woodlawn Funeral Home followed by a reception at 3pm.

Chie was born in Yubari, Hokkaido Prefecture, Japan on June 15, 1928. She and her family migrated to Otaru during World War II, where they lived until the end of the war. Post-war they moved to Tokyo to find prosperity and help with the post-war efforts.

Chie was married to Robert “Bob” Langley in Tokyo, Japan on June 8, 1955. Bob was stationed in Tokyo as part of his 21 year service to the United States Marine Corps. After marriage, they set sail together for the United States where they remained married for 61 years until Bob’s death in 2017. Theirs is a love story to which no fairy tale can compare.

Chie had a long career as a seamstress in Winter Park for Ralph Lauren Polo before retiring from Burdines in Altamonte, continuing to knit and sew long after her retirement. She was a passionate Atlanta Braves baseball fan, active in her church, and loved being surrounded by her grandkids and great-grandkids.

Chie is survived by her daughter Lynn & her partner Steve; her son Dale & wife Susan; her grandson Josh & wife Morgan; her granddaughter Jessica & husband Nathan; her great-granddaughters Haven, Jadyn, & Lyla; and too many dear friends to list. Her legacy lives on through these people.
