Christensen, Ruth Lucille Kent
Ruth Lucille Kent Christensen Together Forever ST. GEORGE/KAYSVILLE - Ruth
Lucille Kent Christensen of St. George, Utah was once again embraced by her
eternal sweetheart May 12, 2005 after valiantly enduring to the end of a long
road of physical trials. She was surrounded by her loving family at the Avalon
Care Center in Bountiful, Utah after spending the past two years with her
daughter Karen in Kaysville, Utah. She was born October 16, 1916 in Salt Lake
City, Utah to Charles Basil and Kent and Laura Lucille Christina Anderson. She
was the first of three children and took special care of her two younger
sisters, Doris Hazel (Patsy) and June. Later, her life was blessed with a
half-brother, Robert. She took him under her wing and taught him by example.
Her life was blessed by the gifts of heaven as she endured to the end the
footpath Heavenly Father built for her to walk upon. She was always "grateful"
for her blessings (every little thing). She always expressed gratitude to
Heavenly Father. It was in Washington D.C. years before she met her eternal
companion, Arlond Taylor Christensen. There they were married October 1, 1938
and they were later sealed in the Salt Lake City LDS Temple. Three daughters
blessed their home, Arlene, Karen and Shanna. She was a wonderful mother,
loving wife, grandmother, and great-grandmother. In her high school years she
walked all the way from the East High School area to West High School in Salt
Lake City. (West High was the only one that offered a business course). She
applied her skills, hard work and determination to become an accomplished
secretary. She moved to Washington D.C. where she secured a job with the
government. She never wanted for a job as her husband's employment took them
around the country. Each new place she called home had a job offer waiting for
her. She became a CPS (Certified Professional Secretary) for Law firms and a
medical center. Later, after a request came to serve on President Ronald
Reagan's Re-election Committee, she made her way back to Washington D.C. She
graciously added her talents to this honored position on his committee. She
served in various LDS Church positions including a Temple Square Mission, and
a full time mission to the Philadelphia Pennsylvania Mission where she served
with Arlond. There she "adopted an extended family and called the young Elders
and sisters her "Missionary Kids". To know her was to be her friend. She
potentially had the largest Christmas card list in existence. Her needlework
were as great paintings with her intricate stitches of love. She was an avid
Jazz fan and was with them even in their "Thunderstorms", as well as their
"Sunny Weather". She left us with the legacy of hard work, perseverance and
dedication. She is survived by her daughters, Karen Lee, Kaysville, Utah,
Shanna Hugie, Hyrum, Utah; 11 grandchildren; 22 great-grandchildren; and her
very special friend, "Missy" who was more than her pet. She was preceded in
death by her husband, Arlond; daughter, Arlene Crawley; great-granddaughters,
Alexandra and Heather Dennert; son-in-law, Terry Hugie; her parents; sisters;
and her half-brother. We will miss her youthful anticipation of life and will
strive to match our footsteps to the path she left us to follow. Funeral
services will be held Saturday, May 21, 2005, 11 a.m. at Lindquist's Layton
Mortuary, 1867 No. Fairfield Road. Friends and family may call Friday from 6-8
p.m. and Saturday from 9:45-10:45 a.m. at the mortuary. Interment, Bountiful
City Cemetery. The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks for the
tireless efforts of her doctor, June Steely, Hospice, nurses, neighbors and
friends (notably Roselyn Slade, who was both). Your heaven-sent hands are
treasured and offered much comfort. Email condolences to
