Mother of five, grandmother of 14, great grandmother of 27, and known to many as Grandma Hazel, she was a “Family First” person. Widowed at thirty-eight, she was mother and father for 63 years. She was a woman of strong faith and devoted member of Bethesda Lutheran Church, renowned kringla baker, talented seamstress, Cyclone fan and long-standing season ticket holder to ISU men’s and women’s basketball. Hazel was born in Slater, Iowa, to Howard and Lydia (Rimathe) Estrem and lived on a farm with siblings Rachel (Lowman), Casper and Lucille (Accola). She attended a one-room country school for elementary years and graduated from Slater High in 1934, valedictorian of her class. She married E. Jean Houge, and they lived in Slater before moving to a farm near Boone, Iowa, where besides maintaining the home and caring for five children, she had primary care of chickens and eggs, washed the milking machines and made emergency runs into town for machinery replacement parts during planting or harvesting seasons. Upon the untimely death of her husband, she and the five children (ages 15-4) moved to Ames, Iowa, where she continued to reside until her recent brief illness. She worked at Iowa State and retired from the ISU Library catalog department shortly before her 70th birthday. Hazel lived independently, renewed her driver’s license in May and drove herself to church just four weeks before her death. She is survived by children Karen Haines (Douglas-decreased), Wynn (Rita) (Bette-deceased), Curtis (Carol), Rodney (Rose) and pre-deceased by daughter Nancy Hadaway (Mike). Also survived by many loving nieces, nephews, great-nieces, great-nephews, cousins and friends.
