September 10, 1932 - December 29, 2017

Lun Thi Thong, age 85, of Lakeside, Iowa, died on Friday, December 29, 2017, in Lakeside.

Lun Thi Thong, a daughter of Cheua Thongthi and Phouan Thongvan, was born on September 10, 1932, in Sonla, Vietnam. She grew up in Vietnam, and married Sau Van Thong. In time, they were blessed with nine children: Vieng, Dawn, Suzzan, Thou, Xuyen, Hup, Seng, Heui, and John. In 1975, the family moved to the United States. After living in Sac City and Spencer, they, eventually, settled in Storm Lake, Iowa.

Lun had a talent and passion for sewing. Indeed, she loved creating many traditional blankets for family members. In addition, she liked to watch both American and Thai soap operas. Most of all, however, Lun loved spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. Without question, she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.
