Larrie Woolf Christensen was born in Idaho Falls Idaho but spent most of her growing up years in Salt Lake City Utah. Her family moved to Anaheim California when she graduated from high school and it was there that she met her late husband, O. Brent Christensen. They were married in 1964 in the Salt Lake Temple. She continues to mourn his loss and misses his steadying influence, his wonderful smile and his loyal and faithful companionship. They have four children and Larrie currently lives in Columbia Missouri near their two oldest daughters.
Larrie’s faith journey began at an early age and continues today. She loves to teach. Her favorite time of all were the years she spent teaching Seminary and Institute. She loves to learn. She loves books, books and more books—scriptures, of course, and also history, religion, biographies, politics, historical fiction, mysteries, etc. Throw in a few philosophical writings and she’s pleased as punch to talk about any or all things she has recently read.
