Elsie Christensen Obituary
St. George - Elsie Marie Bennett Christensen died January 6, 2018 in St. George, Utah. She was born October 12, 1925, in Twin Falls, Idaho, to Verner Alfred and Mildred Ethlyn Lytle Bennett. Elsie married Ivan William Christensen March 21, 1942, in Fallon, Nevada. Ivan died November 30, 2005, in St. George, Utah.
Ivan and Elsie had six wonderful children: David William (Lynn) Christensen, Ukiah, CA; Kenneth Raymond (Valerie) Christensen, West Jordan, UT; Sheila Ann (Jerry) McCall, St. George, UT; Chris Jay (Marjie) Christensen, Reno, NV; Linda Sue (John) Fosse, Tucson, AZ; Lorrie Lee (Scott) Burton, Woodbury, MI; 25 grandchildren, 42 great-grandchildren and 9 great-great-grandchildren.
All Elsie wanted in life was to get married to a good man and have a family. You can tell from the number of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren that Elsie enjoyed the past 92 years, almost all of the time.
Elsie and Ivan were married for 63 years. They went on two Church Missions; the first was to the Utah Salt Lake City Mission, serving in St. George for 18 months from 1977-1978, they then served in the Coventry England Mission for 18 months from 1984-1985.
"I want to say thank you to all my wonderful children and grandchildren, who took such good care of their Father and Mother when they needed help in our old age. To all my dear loved ones, we will be waiting for you." Elsie
