Helen M. Hauge
October 6, 1927 - December 23, 2014Helen Mae Hauge, 87, of Fertile, died on Tuesday, December 23, 2014, at the Good Samaritan Center in Forest City.
Helen Mae Keyser was born in Dickinson County, Iowa, on October 6, 1927, to Harold and Pearl (Nelson) Keyser. She was raised in the Spirit Lake area and attended school there until her sophomore year when the family moved to the Quad Cities for employment, and she finished her schooling there. Helen met Arnold Hauge in 1945, and they married at the West Prairie Church in Leland, Iowa, in January of 1946. To this union, five children were born: Dennis Arnold, Paulette Kay, Kent, Paul, and Craig.
From 1946 to 1954, Helen and Arnold lived and farmed in the Thompson/Leland area. The following year they moved to Bancroft where they worked for Welp’s Hatchery. Later they moved to Forest City where Helen worked at Basket Grocery and the Bungalow Café, and Arnold was employed with Fryer Farms. In 1966, they purchased an acreage near Fertile. Helen, then, went to work for Johnson’s Pharmacy. Later, she retired from the Chuck Wagon Café where she had worked for several years.
An excellent cook and baker, Helen took great pride in preparing meals for her family. She loved her family with her whole heart. She very seldom missed an event that her children or grandchildren were participating in. She spent her most enjoyable times in her front yard watching the kids play ball on a Sunday afternoon.
Helen is survived by her husband, Arnold, of Fertile; her sons, Kent (Carmen) Hauge, of Forest City, and Paul Hauge, of Britt; her grandsons, Jeremy (Kellie), of Grimes, Ben (Julie), of St. Ansgar, Matt, of Mason City, and Bryan, of St. Paul; and her great grandchildren, Kinzley and Beckett.
Helen was preceded in death by her parents; her sons, Dennis and Craig; and her daughter, Paulette.
She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends.
