Christine was born September 21, 1921, to Peter and Johannah Lund in Bowdon, N.D. She graduated from Bowdon High School in 1940. On September 25, 1940, Christine married Murhl Thormodsgard. For fifteen years she and Murhl farmed in North Dakota. In 1956 they moved to Canton, South Dakota where the two made a great team owning and operating the Canton Hardware store and later built and ran the bowling alley, Murhl’s Lanes, in Canton.
Christine enjoyed bird watching, making beautiful quilts, playing cards, baking, ballroom dancing and her absolutely favorite activity was being an outstanding mother and grandmother. Christine was a member of Canton Lutheran Church until she moved to Sioux Falls, where she became a member of Hope Lutheran Church. Preceded in death by her beloved husband in 2000, her survivors include three daughters: Faye (Humphrey) Maris of Barrington, R.I., June and Joy Thormodsgard of Sioux Falls; and a son Kim (Tammy) of Sioux Falls; seven grandchildren, and nine great-grandchildren.
In lieu of flowers the family kindly requests that memorials be directed to a charity of your choice in Christine’s honor.
