Lucille Genevieve (Hansen) Christensen, 87, of Cass Lake died Thursday, Dec. 9,
2010, at North Country Regional Hospital in Bemidji.
The funeral service will be at 2 p.m. Friday, Dec. 17, at Bethany Free Lutheran
Church, 1300 Beltrami Ave. N.W., Bemidji, with The Rev. Arlo Feiock officiating.
Family will be present to greet friends prior to the funeral service.
Honorary pall bearers are Mark Stokes, Paul Stokes, Laura Hoogland, Michelle
Fulp, Christopher Mittelholtz, Robert Bryant Jr. and Patrick Bryant.
Arrangements were entrusted with the Olson-Schwartz Funeral Home and
Cremation Service, Bemidji.
She was born on Oct. 12, 1923, in St. Paul to Ralph A. and Lillian (Carlson)
Hansen. She moved to Cass Lake with her family in 1938. She married Paige C.
Christensen on Dec. 20, 1941. Together they had two daughters and enjoyed 56
years of marriage.
Throughout their marriage, they lived in several communities where Paige taught
school, including in Red Lake and Pine River, Minn., and in Lakota, Sharon and
Gardner, N.D., before returning to Cass Lake in 1967. She was employed by the U.
S. Forest Service at the Supervisor’s Office in Cass Lake for 22 years as a
personnel assistant. She and her husband enjoyed their home on Midge Lake
through retirement. Her last three years of life were spent at Touch of Home
Customized Living, where she was known for her love of singing and her positive
outlook.
She was very warm and caring, and she affirmed those with whom she interacted.
She enjoyed her friends and family, especially her grandchildren and great-
grandchildren. Her leisure time was spent doing crafts, knitting, crocheting,
painting and playing bridge. She was active in taking care of her house and yard
until well into her 80s. She was an active member in the church throughout her
lifetime, most recently at Bethany Free Lutheran.
She is survived by her daughters, Karen Lee Stokes and LuAnne Christensen,
both of Cass Lake; seven grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; two sister-in-
laws, Eleanor Christensen of Bemidji and Dorothy Hansen of Apple Valley, Minn.
and several nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her husband; parents; mother- and father-in-law;
sisters, Bernice (Frank) Raczynski and Doris (Vern) Wahlberg; brothers, Ralph E.
(Donna) Hansen and Joel Hansen; brother-in-law and five nephews.
