Our loving Mother, Grandmother, Great-Grandmother, Sister and Friend; made her way home, Wednesday June 27, 2018. The memories and loving presence she gave to her family and friends will hold an unwavering place in our hearts.
Hobbies she enjoyed were sewing and making stuff for her family. Her love for her family was unconditional. A piece of her heart was given in every stitch she made, every pattern she sewed, every blanket she quilted and every holiday she planned.
In her words, her greatest accomplishments were, "My Children." Life to her, and her greatest enjoyments were, "My Grandbabies and Great-Grandbabies and being married to my husband".
Times she remembered fondly, were trips with her sister Virginia, where they would get lost and laugh their innards out. Her favorite music is Country (old), her favorite color is blue, her favorite place was her home; that she and her husband bought and remodeled together and spent the rest of their days. She loved roses and carnations. Her favorite season was summer and she ‘sarcastically' wished for a million dollars.
But, the message she wanted to leave with her family and friends is this, "I love every one of them. Be careful and take care of yourselves."
She is lovingly survived by:
Her children; Donald Christensen Jr, Dennis Christensen, David Christensen, (Daughter in law) Connie Christensen, Darlene Christensen.
Grandchildren: Donald Christensen III, Kimberlie Mortensen, Jeffrey Christensen, Karl Christensen, Charity Neilson, April Baumgartner and Josh Christensen and Katlyn Christensen.
Great Grandchildren: Alexia Mortensen, Lacey Mortensen, Anthony Christensen, Christopher Neilson, McKenzie Christensen, Rachel Christensen, Donald Christensen IIII, William Christensen, Braxton Baumgartner, Jackson Baumgartner, Aubrey Baumgartner, Mason Christensen, Lucas Christensen, Logan Christensen.
