Obituary of Christian A. Rasmussen

Christian A. Rasmussen, 90 years, of Lindenwold, passed away on June 5, 2023. Son of the late Carl and Alice (née Lonergan) Rasmussen. Loving husband of Jane Roork (née Reynolds). Devoted father of Jane Femia Baider (Joe Pluck). Cherished grandfather of Alex Baider, Kyra Baider, Spencer Pluck and Erik Pluck. 

Chris served as treasurer of the Lindenwold Democratic Club for 25 years. He loved to read and was an active member of the Friends of Lindenwold Library and served on the Lindenwold Library Advisory Board for over 20 years. Chris previously served on the Friends of Camden County Library. He also volunteered on the Lindenwold Zoning and Planning Board. Chris enjoyed a long career as an actuary at Penn Mutual Life Insurance Company, where he was a member of the Quarter Century Club.

Chris and Jane enjoyed spending time with family and friends as well as traveling all over the world. They wined and dined on 20 different cruises in their 14 years of marriage. Chris always had a story to tell and was well versed in every subject. He was a self-made scholar, poet and a consummate gentleman.  His sharp wit was matched by his intellect and he refined both with his voracious reading habits.
