Christine "Chris" Thebault

Christine passed away Tuesday, March 28, 2023 at Community Hospital, Munster surrounded by her loving family

She was born in Germany, along with her sister Mary and where her mother and father took refuge after WWII.
Chris is survived by her husband of over 40 years, Robert and her son, John.  Her sister, Barbara (Laskowski) Ristich (husband, George and Josephine (Joey Laskowski) Brown (husband, Dave). 

Chris is preceded in death by her Mother Frances and father Edward Laskowski. Her sister Jane and half-sister Theresa.

She has many nieces and nephews and many grandnieces and grandnephews which she loved dearly and never missed a birthday party or giving out gifts. Even when she was having trouble walking, she would always come. 

She loved to cook and what a great cook she was.  She would always make homemade pierogis for Christmas which were gone in ten minutes. Chris graduated from Bishop Noll High School and then went to Hair Styling College.

She worked at Minus Department store in downtown Hammond for several years styling wigs and then worked as a hairstylist for many years at a salon in Hammond.  She only quit when she had her son, John.  Taking care of her family and home was her first priority!  Can’t go unmentioned that her favorite store to shop was Meijer’s, where she shopped a couple of days a week to plan all her great meals. 

Whenever anyone of us was sick, she would call every day until we were feeling better.  We will miss her dearly and are praying for her until we meet again in heaven. 

May you rest in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
