Christine (Cutsforth) Loenser, 91, Grand Rapids, Minn., died Friday, Jan. 10, 2003, at Leisure Hills Care Center, Grand Rapids, with three of her children at her side.
She was born July 4, 1911, to Alvin and Ada (Piatt) Nichols at Spirit Lake, Idaho. She married Spencer Cutsforth on Aug. 10, 1929, at Eau Claire. He preceded her in death on Aug. 26, 1966.
She married Hans Loenser on June 21, 1975, at Wisconsin Rapids. He preceded her in death on Nov. 5, 1981. She spent most of her life in the Dallas/Sand Creek area, living in Grand Rapids the last eight years.
Throughout her life, she filled her cellar with hundreds of jars of canned vegetables, fruit, pickles, meat, and garden produce. She spent hundreds of hours sewing clothes for her family, mending, cooking, and making quilts.
During her childrens' college years, she fed and boarded dozens of college friends on the weekends. She later did the same for her children and grandchildren that were "home for the weekend."
