JOE BOBATKINS Hazel Marie Hagler 1923-2021 Hazel Marie Hagler, age 98, of Arnold, passed away on September 29, 2021, at the Callaway Good Life Center in Call- away, Nebraska. She was born April 28, 1923, to Al- bert and Esther (Russell) Ferguson. Esther passed away when Hazel was only 5 years of age, so her dad moved his little fam- ily from North Platte to a farmstead south of Berwyn, Nebraska, to an area known as Happy Hol- low. She attended a coun- try school close by her home where her teacher, Zelma Staab, would later marry her dad and be- come her mother. After finishing eighth grade she moved to Stapleton, Nebraska, to live with her grandparents, Zell and Emma Russell, so she could attend high school. She graduated from Baker Rural High School with the class of 1940 holding a normal train- ing certificate allowing her to become a teacher. Following graduation, she married Duane Samuel Harvey residing in Stapleton for many years. Her time was spent helping with farm chores, planting, and raising a large garden every year and canning vegetables and fruits to have on hand for the winter months. She continued her gardening and can- ning produce long after her children had families of their own. Her lime pickles and apple butter were always favorites of her grandchildren. When her children were still at home, she decided to put her normal training cer- tificate to work and took up teaching. Her first job was a country school in the Callaway area, all the while attending summer school at Kearney State Teachers College in order to get a teaching degree. She taught school in Ed- dyville, Gothenburg, Sta- pleton, Madrid, and Arnold. Hazel felt that col- lege was important and encouraged all of her chil- dren to pursue higher ed- ucation, which they all did. Four of them fol- lowed in her footsteps and entered the educa- tion field, and one went into the health care field. Hazel retired from teach- ing when she married Willis B. Hagler of Arnold and Lived there the re- mainder of her life. Hazel and Bill traveled around the United States, visited Europe, and cruised through the Panama Canal. She was also an avid bowler and bowled for many years. Her love of bowling also allowed her to travel. She and her team would par- ticipate in the women's state bowling tourna- ments in Nebraska, as well as, traveling to the women's national bowl- ing tournaments around the country. She contin- ued to bowl until medical problems forced her to quit. She was a member of the Arnold Baptist Church. She loved the Lord and participated in many of the church activ- ities, helping where she could. She enjoyed going to the Bible studies and the fellowship every week at the Riverside apart- ments. She was also a member of the American Legion Auxiliary and took part in many of the activ- ities in the community. She is preceded in death by her mother, Esther Ferguson, parents, Albert and Zelma Ferguson, sib- lings Helen Bergman, Richard Ferguson, Jim Ferguson, Claris Fergu- son, Bonnie Belle Peter- son and Marvin Ferguson, sister-in-law Becky Ferguson, brother- in-law Leonard Peterson, daughter-in-law Monica Harvey, and grandsons Zane Harvey and Jeff Schardt.
