Phyllis Christensen Obituary

Phyllis Weirick Christensen, a beloved member of the Corona del Mar and Newport Beach communities, passed away peacefully at her home on May 28, just shy of her 90th birthday.
Phyllis was originally from San Marino, CA and went on to attend USC where she was a member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority. While attending USC she met her future husband, Tom Christensen and were married in 1957.
Phyllis was well known for her generous and creative spirit. She devoted her time, heart, and talents to supporting those around her. Phyllis made a lasting impact on all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her loyalty to USC remained steadfast throughout her life, and she carried the Trojan spirit with her in so much that she did.
In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations be made to the following organizations that had a special place in Phyllis' heart.
City of Hope - ourhope.cityofhope.org or Canine Companions - canine.org
She will be dearly missed, fondly remembered, and forever cherished by her many friends and family that loved her.
