Sheila was born on June 28, 1942 in Iowa City, IA, the daughter of Don and Marian (White) Brown. She married Alan Christensen on October 17, 1964 in Rock Island. She graduated from Fontbonne College, Saint Louis, Mo in 1963. Sheila worked in data entry for 40 years with Bituminous Insurance Company in Rock Island. She was a wonderful wife and mother who enjoyed taking rides in the car with her husband Alan, especially when going to her sons' baseball games and her grandchildren's sporting events. Spending time with her family was very important to her and enabled her to enjoy her passions of photography, sewing, playing cards and cooking. She was a very good cook who loved to collect and try new recipes.
Those left to cherish her memory include her husband, Alan; sons, Scott (Julie) Christensen, Colona and Brian (Deana) Christensen, McKinney, TX; and grandchildren, Mickey, Alex, Katie, Damian and Brea.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
