Read More	Alberta Rose Christensen, 91, of Minden died Monday, Nov. 7, 2005, at the Long Term Care Unit of Kearney County Health Services. Services were held Thursday at Minden Evangelical Free Church with the Rev. Jerry Classen officiating. **** She was born Dec. 26, 1913, in Kearney County to Howard and Anna (Duhrman) Maxon. On Aug. 21, 1935, she married Arlo Christensen. He preceded her in death. Survivors include her sons, Buckley of Minden and Bruce of Holdrege; daughter, Dixie Beck of Minden; six grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; and two stepgreat-grandchildren. Additional survivors include her daughters-in-law, Sharen of Minden and Milrae of Holdrege; and son-in-law, Tim Beck of Minden. She grew up in the Norman area and graduated from Kearney High School in 1931 while working for her aunt. She and her husband lived in Minden. She owned and operated Arlo's Hardware along with her husband for many years. After selling the business in 1959, she began working for Minden Public Schools, first as a cook and later as a secretary. It was then she realized her dream to become a teacher — an important role in children's lives. Upon graduation from college in 1971 at the age of 54, she earned a degree with a major in speech pathology and a minor in special education all in 30 months. Her interests in the brain development of children led her to be trained in the Doman Delecato Method in Philadelphia and Cleveland. She was trained in Montessori methods in Dallas, which led her to become a highly skilled special education instructor at ESUs in Holdrege, Grand Island and Kearney. Later, she taught remedial math and reading in the Minden Public Schools. Her teaching career fostered the writing of her book, "The See and Sound Circus" in 1982. This book was a phonetic system of reading and writing made for teaching small children. She was a lady of many talents and varied interests. Her talents included writing lyrics and poems for Minden High School athletic banquets, retirements, family and friends. She was a talented, self-taught piano player and loved singing alto in trios with her sisters-in-law. Her strong faith fostered a commitment to do work in the Christian Church and later the Evangelical Free Church. She served as Sunday school teacher and carpenter and helped with AWANA. She opened her heart and home to her children's friends, serving warm homemade cinnamon rolls by the panful and allowing get-togethers for many occasions. She was depended upon to organize many class reunions and Somer-set Clubs. She was the matriarch of the Maxon clan, the hostess of numerous holiday celebrations. In addition to her husband, she was preceded in death by three brothers, a grandson and a great-granddaughter.
