Paul Christenson

Paul Thomas Christenson, 65, passed away on July 23, 2018 at St. Anne’s Guest Home in Grand Forks, ND. Paul was born on October 24, 1952, the son of Edward and Dorothy Christenson. Paul grew up in Grand Forks, graduated from Red River High School, and attended Sharon Lutheran Church.
 
Paul’s family will remember him for his incredible memory, kind heart, and ability to brighten other people’s day. He loved to spend time with family and go out for dinner and a banana split. He also enjoyed sharing a good pizza with his friends at St. Anne’s. He was always so polite and appreciative of any help or gift given to him. 

Paul is survived by his two sisters, Kathleen (Stephen) Kushner and Marcia Jean (Randall) Souser, 8 cousins, 6 nieces and nephews, and 7 grandnieces and nephews. Paul’s family would like to thank Prairie Harvest Mental Health, the staff at Altru Dialysis Center, and the Sisters and staff at St. Anne’s Guest Home for the exceptional care provided to Paul throughout the years.

A private memorial service will take place in August, followed by a burial next to his parents in Memorial Park Cemetery.  In lieu of flowers, please send donations to St. Anne’s Guest Home (524 North 17th Street, Grand Forks, ND  58203), where Paul spent the last 7 years living under the loving care of the Sisters and staff at St. Anne’s.
