Evelyn Marie Lundstrom, 92, passed away on Jan. 3, 2012, of natural causes at Whitefish Care and Rehabilitation Center in Whitefish.

Evelyn was born May 2, 1919, to Frank J. and Marie Snider in Amidon, N.D.

Evelyn’s childhood years were in North Dakota before moving with her family to Malta, where she met her husband, Frank Lundstrom.

They were married in 1943 in Havre. They had three children in Malta, and several years later they moved to Columbia Falls, where three more children were born.

Evelyn raised and educated her six children until they were grown. She then worked for Glacier Bank in Columbia Falls for 21 years. Evelyn was respected and admired for her work ethic and honesty.

Evelyn enjoyed baking breads and cinnamon rolls for her children and grandchildren. There was never a time you couldn't walk into her house without the smell of fresh bread. She also had a passion for making blankets for her family.

Evelyn was preceded in death by her husband, Frank; her sister and brother-in-law, Ethel and Robert Wilz; her mother and father, Frank J. and Marie Snider; a granddaughter, Kimberly Lundstrom; and a great-grandson, Ayden Davies.

She is survived by her six children, Judy and her husband Ervin Schroeder of Columbia Falls, Franklin and his wife Jean Lundstrom of Silverdale, Wash., Richard and his wife Sandy Lundstrom of Columbia Falls, Lois and her husband Steve Pfeiffer of Aliance, Neb., Leah Kvamme of Columbia Falls, and Lori Lundstrom of Columbia Falls; 20 grandchildren; and numerous great-grandchildren.

Evelyn’s family would like to extend a huge thank you to Whitefish Care and Rehabilitation Center for the love, care and kindness they gave her in the six years she lived there.

A celebration of Evelyn’s life will be at 2 p.m. July 7 at Woodlawn Cemetery in Columbia Falls. A reception will follow at Marantette Park in Columbia Falls.
