Lee Lofstrom

He was born Jan. 27, 1939, in Iron Mountain, to the late George and Eleanor (Crummey) Lofstrom. Lee graduated from Iron Mountain High School in 1956, and later received a bachelor’s degree from WMU.

On June 25, 1960, he married his high school sweetheart, Roberta “Bobbi” Hawtin, the daughter of the late Jim and Norma Hawtin. Bobbi remained the love of his life until her death in 2016.

Lee owned and operated a local business for more than 60 years and was an active member of the local Elks Club. He was involved in the Industrial Development Corp. and the Economic Development (DAEDA) up until his death.

Lee loved his family and his home on Witch Lake, enjoying the outdoors. In their later years, Lee and Bobbi enjoyed boating on the Great Lakes and touring the country in their motorhome, before settling in Florida for the winters.

Lee is survived by his children, Scott (Kathy Hart) Lofstrom of Witch Lake, Jami Lofstrom-Dunlap (Richard) of Iron Mountain; grandchildren Hayley Braun of Iron Mountain, Emily Dunlap Muir (Richard) of Olympia, Wash., and Lindsey Dunlap of Sobieski, Wis.; three great-grandchildren, Aubrey, Owen and Daniel Muir; sister-in-law Judy (Hawtin) Garrett; and niece, Michele Garrett-Egenreider (Michael) of Harrisburg, Pa.

Private family services will be held.
