Chrissie M. Danzeisen

Chrissie M. Danzeisen, 85, of Sylvania, Ohio peacefully passed away on December 7, 2016. She was born in Trenton, Michigan on June 17, 1931 to John and Catherine (Macauley) MacDonald. As a young child, Chrissie was instilled with a strong passion for education. Her parents, Scottish immigrants, stressed the importance of the power of education and thus Chrissie went on to achieve a B.A. at Eastern Michigan University and a Masters from the University of Michigan. She taught school for 8 years. When her family came she devoted her time to raising them. With her husband, Milo, she spent countless hours at baseball and basketball games, soccer matches and dance performances. In their retirement years, Chrissie and Milo traveled the world, going on 19 cruises and most of the major European cities. Chrissie was an avid letter and card writer and served as Secretary for the Toledo Womens Club. She easily wrote over 50,000 cards and letters in her lifetime. Up until her death she could still write with a beautiful cursive script that made her notes a joy to receive. Along with writing, Chrissie loved books and bridge. She could either be found reading the latest spy or mystery novel or playing bridge with her dear friends. In addition, Chrissie enjoyed hosting parties of all kinds, especially Christmas ones. Chrissie is survived by her loving husband of 55 years, Milo L. Danzeisen, DDS; sons, David (Kathryn) , John, and Kevin (Wendi); daughter, Julie (Mark) Hankenhof. Chrissie has been blessed with 7 grandchildren, Gabrielle, Sophia, Logan, Annalise, Lexi, Chrissie and Ian. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews.
