Zada Urry Christensen Obituary (1933 - 2015)

"Sadie" Our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother Zada Urry Christensen passed away on November 2, 2015 with her eternal companion, Walter R. Christensen, by her side. They were surrounded by their loving family. Zada was born on August 14, 1933, to Herbert William and Emma Irene (Swaner) Urry. She was the 8th of 9 children. She is survived by her younger brother Dan W. Urry. Zada married her high school sweetheart, Walter R. Christensen, for time and all eternity on March 5, 1953, in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they had 6 children. Zada had a firm testimony of her Heavenly Father and his gospel. She served diligently in her church callings, many of which were at Walter's side. As a family we look forward to the day that we will be reunited with our Sadie. Zada is survived by Walter and their six children: Christy Lee Carter, Shari Lynn Crane, Shauna Rae Woolstenhulme (Kendell), Walter Rex Christensen (Gaylynn), Tami Kay Christensen and Debi Kay Clements (Paul). She is also survived by her 19 grandchildren and 34 great-grandchildren, all of whom knew that they were special and loved by Grandma "Ada." Zada was preceded in death by her great-grandbabies, Kai Spencer Halford and Annise Barlow. How blessed we have been, how fortunate we truly are, that Zada was our wife, our mother, our grandmother and our great-grandmother. But above all, Zada was and is our friend. We love you. We will miss you until we meet again. A viewing will be held on Thursday, November 5, 2015, from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary located at 4760 South State Street, Murray, Utah.
