Riding in a horse-drawn wagon or sleigh, Hazel attended grade and high school in Newell, where she participated in operettas, sang in the choir, and took many sewing and cooking classes. When Hazel graduated in 1927, she had earned a teacher's certificate.
During the summer of 1927, while recovering from thyroid surgery in a Battle Creek hospital, Hazel met Herman Haack when he came to visit his sister, Gertie. This chance meeting prompted friendship, which grew into love; and Herman and Hazel were married December 4, 1930 in Storm Lake. To this union four children were born: Donald, Darlene, Duane and Dianna.
Herman and Hazel farmed near Battle Creek and Newell, and then moved to a farm north of Early where they farmed and raised livestock until Herman's death in 1968. Hazel remained on the farm until the mid-1980's, when she moved into Early.
Hazel was a very active farm wife, and she had a phenomenal capacity for work. Hazel's small frame conquered the numbing labor which was common to raising chickens and hogs, running a dairy, and nurturing a huge garden. She enjoyed canning all the food her family ate, baking bread, rolls and pies; and she was also an active quilt maker and card player. Membership in the Kil'Kare Klub, a rural ladies club, involvement with the United Methodist Women in Early, and teaching Bible school satisfied her need for social activity.
Hazel is survived by her son: Duane G. Haack and wife Cheryl of Schaller; two daughters: Darlene J. Garrels of Wall Lake, and Dianna J. Waldstein and husband Scott of Early; one sister, Lorraine Johnson of Joplin, Missouri; one sister-in-law, Virginia Jackson of Laurens; grandchildren Margo Townsend and husband John of Quimby, Brian Haack and wife Alicia of Nemaha, Mark Determann and wife Joyce of Wall Lake, Kenneth Determann and wife Sue of Wall Lake, Beverly Determann of Forest City, Kimberly Beeby and husband Daniel of Pensacola, Florida, Djana Trofimoff and husband Alexander of Kansas City, Missouri, Kristen Miller and husband Al of Gilbert, Steve Waldstein and wife Julie of Reinbeck, great-grandchildren: Makala Dierks and husband Andy, Saidee and Jesse Haack, Mike and Josh Williams, Tara and Shawna Determann, Nicole and Nickolas Determann, Shannon, Rebecca and Christine Beeby, Anna and Nikolas Trofimoff, Sara, Jeff, Jenna and Megan Miller, Kody, Taylor, Coltan and Brady Waldstein, and Justin Wolf; great-great-grandchildren Shantell Williams, and Alex and McKenna Dierks, and other extended family and friends.
