May 29, 1929 - November 16, 2012

FOREST CITY - Mildred J. Haukoos, 83, of Forest City, died Friday, November 16, 2012, at her home in Forest City.

Mildred Jean Haukoos was born in Mt. Valley Township, near Forest City, Iowa, on May 29, 1929, the daughter of Carl and Ella (Monson) Harris. Baptized and confirmed at Winnebago Lutheran Church in rural Lake Mills, she attended country school near her home through the eighth grade. She, then, attended Forest City High School, graduating in 1946.

Immediately after graduation, Mildred began working at the local telephone company. In 1950, she married Marvin Haukoos and continued working at the telephone company until November of 1951, shortly before their first son was born. She was a stay-at-home mom for many years until they purchased the Renwick Times in Renwick, Iowa, in 1964. Because of her husband's health, they moved to Forest City in 1971, and she began working at Winnebago Industries. She retired in 1979. Later that year, they moved to Clear Lake, Iowa. Marvin passed away in 1981. In 1983, Mildred moved back to Forest City and began babysitting for her grandchildren. She was a member of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Forest City.

Mildred is survived by her sons: Rande (Barbara) Haukoos, of Forest City, and Monte (Kim) Haukoos, of Renwick, Iowa; a sister, Delores Steinfeldt, of Forest City; nine grandchildren, Jason (Briane), Jeremy (Nikki), Megan, and Matt Haukoos, Jennifer (Troy) Kirchhoff, Erin (Jon) Murray, and Mike (Sara) and Lindsey Murphy; and six great-grandchildren, Tanner and Cade Kirchhoff, Johnny and Adam Murphy, Kenzie Oblander, and Jaxon Haukoos.

She was preceded in death by her husband and her parents.

Funeral services will be held at 10:30 AM on Tuesday, November 20, 2012, at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Forest City with Pastor Rod Hopp officiating. Burial will be at Forest Home Cemetery in Leland.

Visitation will be held from 4:30 - 7:00 PM on Monday, November 19, 2012, at the Petersen Lund Funeral Home, 505 N Clark Street, Forest City, and will continue an hour prior to service at the church.
