Pauline Phillips, Flinty Adviser to Millions as Dear Abby, Dies at 94
Pauline Phillips, a California housewife who nearly 60 years ago, seeking something more meaningful than mah-jongg, transformed herself into the syndicated columnist Dear Abby — and in so doing became a trusted, tart-tongued adviser to tens of millions — died on Thursday in Minneapolis. She was 94. Her syndicate, Universal Uclick, announced her death on its Web site. Mrs. Phillips had been ill with Alzheimer’s disease for more than a decade.
