CHRISANNE LUNDSTROM, 64
Chrisanne Thwaites Lundstorm, 64, of Clifford Lake, Mich., died suddenly on 
January 30, 2020. She was born November 18, 1955, in Ionia, Mich., the 
daughter of Fred and Mary Helen Thwaites.

She lived her life in many stage and this is her tory; Chrisanne lived in 
Ionia for most of her life. Along with her parents she embedded herself in 
Fred's Food Centre, a longstanding grocery business that shaped and formed 
her genuine character. It was there that she became fully invested in the 
community and displayed great compassion for all of the employees and 
customers in a million little  ways. She often contributed her time, energy 
and finances to those in need and did it quietly without notoriety.

Chrisanne loved being a mom to Jason (Angie), Maryissa (Andrew) and Charlie. 
her grandchildren (Kane, Nolan, Beau and Walker) gave her an amazing joy and 
a real sense of adventure. Watching their ball games, providing over the top 
holidays and birthdays was a big part of her life as well as theirs. In fact, 
just having them in her presence provided the very opportunity she thrived on 
and fought hard to maintain her great love of family.

Chrisanne spent her entire youth and most of her adult life in Ionia. She 
graduated from Ionia High School in 1973 and stayed very connected to many of 
the friends she grew up with. She worked fervently toward and fully 
participated in school reunions. She believed in the importance of solid 
friendships and the ties that forever bound them throughout the many stages 
of the lives they shared.

Chrisanne loved Lake Michigan from the time she was a child and vacationed 
there. Whenever she got the chance that was her "go to" place to find peace 
and solace. Her love of travel began early and never wavered. Whether she was 
fishing, gardening, boating or just watching nature on the water, she truly 
became transformed by the beauty of it all. That eventually brought her to 
Clifford Lake, Mich., where she could surround herself with the captivating 
environment that it provided daily.

Chrisanne was a great cook by all accounts. There was nothing she could no 
accomplish in the kitchen once she set her mind to it. There were never any 
complaints and always appreciation from those who were fortunate enough to 
sit down to any meal that she created. Chrisanne was always perfectly coiffed 
and put together (a gene provided by her mom) and it was rare to see her 
disheveled. Friends and family marveled (sometimes with a slight touch of 
annoyance) by her indomitable drive to present herself in the best light no 
matter the occasion High fashion and grace is the best way to describe her 
personality. Chrisanne loved everything U of M and never stopped being the 
passionate fan only a sports enthusiast can relate to. She rarely missed a 
basketball or football game and attended them first hand whenever possible. 
She bled maize and blue and it was evident that she felt the victory and 
defeats right along with the team.

Chrianne is survived by her children , Jason (Angie) Lundstrom, Maryissa 
(Andrew) Young, and Charlie Smith; grandchildren, Kane and Nolan Lundstrom, 
Beau Puroll, and Walker Smith; longtime partner, Bob Patrick and his 
children, Kasey and Bobby; siblings, Kathy Rodriquez, Martha Olsen, and Fritz 
Twaities as well as a number of nieces and nephews and their families.

Funeral services were held at Lake Funeral Home in Ionia on Wednesday, 
February 5, 2020, 1 p.m. with Joseph McMillan officiating. Visitation was 
Tuesday 6-8 p.m. and Wednesday 11 a.m. until time of service. Those wishing 
may make memorial contributions to Ionia Community Mental Health. Online
