Janet La Vone (Schmitt) (Myers) Hougen, 77
August 8, 1934 ~ January 12, 2012
Farm Life Shaped Her Unselfish and Caring Ways.
Janet Hougen, 77, died peacefully in her sleep on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012.
Funeral services were Monday, Jan. 16, at First Lutheran Church in Blair. Interment was at the Avoca (Iowa) Cemetery.
Janet La Vone Schmitt was born on Aug. 8, 1934, on the family farm in Valley Township, Hancock, Iowa, to Elmer and Viola (Mortensen) Schmitt. Growing up on the farm shaped her simple outlook on life, her contagious and endless energy, her love for nature, and above all, her unselfish and caring ways.
She graduated from Hancock High School with academic honors and was a member of the “6 on 6” basketball team. She continued her education at a business school in Omaha. She established a career in accounting and tax preparation, including owing her own business. She was active in her church and volunteered in the community. Her concern for others prompted her to visit with people and offer her time in helping those with various needs.
Her interests included traveling and gardening. Her love of flowers led her to develop a green thumb. She enjoyed feeding and watching the birds that flocked to her well-stocked feeders. Her family was very important to her. She kept in contact by phone and visits where possible. They will miss her dearly.
Her family includes her daughter and son-in-law, Barb and Brian Ackley of Omaha; and son and daughter-in-law, Dennis and Lori Myers of Broken Arrow, Okla. She is survived by a brother and sister-in-law, Wayne and Wilma Schmitt of Forest Lake, Minn.
She was married to Curt Hougen on August 1, 1992. He survives her, as do her step-children, Kathy Hougen of Monticello, Minn., and Laura and Mark Lansink of Hutchinson, Minn. Their grandchildren are Christina Ackley, Melissa Ackley, Alyson Ackley, Megan Myers, Morgan Myers, Alexis Lansink, Elizabeth Lansink, Samuel Lansink, Nathaniel Hougen.
Campbell-Aman Funeral Home was in charge of arrangements.
