Read More	Mary Haugan, 78, of Platte, SD, formerly of Pierre, SD passed away Saturday, December 13, 2014 at the Platte Care Center. Funeral Services are 10:30 A.M. Wednesday, December 17, 2014 at the Olive Presbyterian Church in Platte with Pastor Royal Archer officiating. A Committal Service will follow at the Platte City Cemetery. Visitation will be held at the church from 5:00 – 7:00 P.M. Tuesday, December 16, 2014 with a 7:00 P.M. Prayer Service. Mary Jean Meis was born April 14, 1936, in Geddes, SD to Alfred and Elnora (Anderson) Meis. She was the fifth of seven daughters and the self-proclaimed “Tom boy” of the family growing up on their family farm outside of Geddes. After graduating from Platte High School in 1954 Mary was employed at Ander¬son’s Cafe in Platte where she met her future husband Maurice. They were married December 26, 1957 in Sheldon, IA and resided in Pierre for a few years before set¬tling down in Platte to begin a family. The couple was blessed with three children: Mike, Machelle and Mark. Mary was employed by the Platte Hospital for many years. She also enriched her community by being actively involved in multiple organizations as a Meals On Wheels volunteer, Boy Scout leader and Sunday School teacher. As her family grew Mary was blessed with the addition of four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. She enjoyed spending time with them and watching them grow. She made several baby outfits for her grandchildren, supported them at a vari¬ety of events, and acted as a caregiver and mentor. Throughout her years Mary was well known and greatly loved for her diverse hobbies and competitive nature. She enjoyed bowling, golfing, playing cards, sew¬ing, crocheting and completing puzzles. Perhaps what she is best known for are her famous chocolate chip cookies. She would bake and deliver them for any number of occasions and always received generous praise. She was also an avid fan of the Green Bay Packers and the New York Yankees. Her competitive nature shone through whenever her teams could be found on TV. She entertained her family and friends as she watched and cheered for her favorite players. A few short months after celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary Maurice passed away on March 23, 1998. Mary then moved to Pierre where she resided until June 2014. There she joined the team at Broken Arrow Farms, her sons’ hunting pre¬serve, and was instrumental in getting the business up and going. She would cook, clean and complete any other duty that may arise. She took great pride in her work and would often go above and beyond expectations. Her efforts were greatly appreci¬ated by all who visited Broken Arrow, and she made countless friends over the years. When her health declined Mary returned home to Platte, SD, and moved in to the Platte Care Center. Here she was able to enjoy frequent visits from friends and family. She often commented on the friendliness of the staff and considered many of them friends. In the early morning of December 13, 2014, the Lord called Mary home after a brief battle with cancer. Mary is survived by two sons: Mike and Mark (Kelli), both of Pierre, SD, and daughter: Machelle Seeley (Kirby) of Gregory, SD; four grandchildren: Joni (Deme¬tri) Sengos of Sioux Falls, SD; Danielle (Derreck) Martin of Sioux Falls, SD; Derek (Kate) of Pierre, SD; and Finlee Haugan of Pierre, SD; two great-grandsons: Andre and Leo Sengos and one future great-granddaughter of Sioux Falls, SD; sisters: Lou¬ise Olson, Alice Birnbaum, Sharon (Ken) Kuiper, all of Platte, SD; and Lucille (Vic) Anthony of Colorado Springs, CO. Also surviving her are Sheila Haugan and Brenda Haugan, both of Pierre, SD; along with many nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband, Maurice; parents, Alfred and Elnora; sisters, Elnora and Charlene; and many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law.
