Hannelore Maria Strand, 72, of Waterloo died Thursday, April 19, 2007, at the Cedar Valley Hospice Home following a lengthy illness.

Hannelore was born in Hanau, Germany on June 29, 1934, daughter of Anna (Bauer) and Phillip Wetzel. She originally immigrated to the United States in 1961 moving to Waterloo in 1966. Her early life was filled with the challenges of living through World War II in Germany a reality that played a constant role in her lifes experiences. Our family wishes that the lessons to be learned from her experiences will make a difference in the world of today and the one of the future.

Hannelore worked for Standard Screen Print in Cedar Falls for 33 years from 1967-2000. She was known for an uncommon level of dedication and devotion to excellence. Her tenure at Standard was a primary focus of her life and she was proud to contribute to the success of the business.

She is survived by two daughters, Connie A. Hoffman of Waterloo, and Heike C. Strand of Burbank Calif; three grandchildren: Amy J. Hoffman (Texas), Brandine D. Strand (California), and Justin B. Hoffman (Iowa); one great-grandchild Caleb (Texas). Family in Germany includes a brother Helmut (Hannelore) Wetzel; a sister-in-law; four cousins; two nieces and a nephew. She is also survived by special friends who found her unique character and genuine nature to be a warm and sustaining asset in their lives.Our family is profoundly grateful for all of the joy that they brought to her through the years. She will be deeply missed.

Hannelore was preceded in death by her parents; her partner Bill Wygle; a brother Horst Wetzel; three uncles: George Bauer, Karl Bauer, and Richard Bauer; one aunt Maria Hock.

Her utmost personal happiness was realized in caring for and decorating her home. Though we did not grow up in affluence we lived in beauty. Our family would like to thank Cedar Valley Hospice for providing Hannelore with the highest level of care on her journey and treating the family with comfort love and respect.

Services will be 10:00 a.m. Saturday at Hagarty-Waychoff-Grarup Funeral Service on West Ridgeway with burial in Waterloo Cemetery. The family will receive friends from 6 until 8:00 p.m. Friday and again one hour before services on Saturday.
