Mrs. Christensen was a member and involved with Grace Lutheran Church. She worked as a homemaker and owned and operated a catering business called M & M Catering. For 14 years she worked as the head cook and baker at J.I. Case High School, retiring in 1980. She very much enjoyed cooking and baking. During the holidays, she would bake cookies with handmade cutters to make ginger cookies and gingerbread houses. She also enjoyed flowers, bird watching, crocheting and collecting music boxes. She once knitted an American Flag. Her favorite thing to do was to dine out at DeRango’s Restaurant. What she was best known for was that she would share her love with family and friends with huge hugs!
