MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Pauline Friedman Phillips, who as Dear Abby dispensed snappy, sometimes saucy advice on love, marriage and meddling mothers-in-law to millions of newspaper readers around the world and opened the way for the likes of Dr. Ruth, Dr. Phil and Oprah, has died. She was 94.
Phillips died Wednesday in Minneapolis after a long battle with Alzheimer's disease, said Gene Willis, a publicist for the Universal Uclick syndicate.

It was a joy daily to read
It was a joy daily to read her column. Since I was a child and my grandma read her columns and then passed the paper to me, I enjoyed her wisdom. I thank Spirit for allowing me to be taught by such a angel.
I also enjoy reading her daughters comments when the opportunity presents itself.
