Birth date: Aug 25, 1949 Death date: Jul 7, 2017
Christine Ann VanAelst, age 67, passed away after a courageous battle with cancer on Friday, July 7, 2017. She was born August 25, 1949 in Muskegon to Raymond and Frances (Blair) Bowne. On March 22, 1969, she married David A. VanA Read Obituary
Christine was a member of WDCC on the Hackley House committee to decorate the first and second parlors for the Christmas holiday tours.
She did a beautiful job adding her special touches. She also loaned us her angels for the tours.
When she got cancer, she was so worried about not being there for takedown in January. But we did finally get her angels back to her.
Now she can be a real one.
She will be missed.

Christine and Dave where out neighbors for 15 years, they where the best neighbors I have every had, Christine was always a very welcoming person, she watch my kids grow up. We shared many holidays get to gather's, neighborhood cruise, fireworks, cook out and just daily interaction. I will never forget the kid selling hanging flower baskets to her for mother days every year, she loved the moment the beautiful flowers they delivered.
While we will miss seeing you in person, we will think of you often and the joy you brought to our hearts and your beautiful family.
