Iona Hausman, age 85, of Storm Lake, Iowa, died Saturday, February 7, 2004, at the Buena Vista Regional Medical Center in Storm Lake.
Iona Huseman was born on July 17, 1918, in Hanover, Iowa, to Bill and Ida (Oatman) Huseman. She spent her childhood in her parents’ home in rural Alta, Iowa, attending country school through the 8th grade.
On December 28, 1940, Iona was united in marriage to Forrest Henry Hausman in Alta. Their union was blessed with one daughter, Mary.
Iona was a member of St. John Lutheran Church in Storm Lake. She was baptized on August 8, 1918, in Hanover and later confirmed on November 8, 1936, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Alta. Iona, or “Tiny” as she was known to her family, was a floral designer by trade. She enjoyed gardening, handiwork, baking pies for the B.V. County Fair and was especially fond of spending time with her family. Iona was a great card player. She had time for anyone in need and always put others first.
Iona’s greatest delight was her family. Her three great-granddaughters brought her much joy. She treasured every minute that she spent with them.
