Obituary
June Hagie passed away January 3, 2009 in Clarion, Iowa. She was born June 25, 1913 at Rainy Lake, Ontario, Canada to Boyd Scott and Grace (Wood) Remington.
June’s father, a freelance civil engineer, frequently moved his young family to numerous jobs sites throughout the western United States. This resulted in June attending twenty two schools before returning to her father’s native Iowa. After graduating from Ames High School in 1931 she entered Iowa State College to major in Child Development. While there she met Raymond Hagie whom she married after her graduation in 1935. Ray and June then moved to the original Hagie family farm 4 ½ miles southwest of Clarion where Ray was farming with his father and starting a hybrid seed corn business.
June quickly adapted to farm life and became involved in county extension work and was a dedicated 4-H leader. She was very active in P.E.O., numerous other community organizations and a charter member of the Clarion Chapter of AAUW. As a longtime member of the UCC-Congregation Church she, along with other church members, established the Meals-On-Wheels program and childcare for pre-school children.
In addition to community involvement June was an avid bridge player, enjoyed golf and world travel. After retirement Ray and June spent winters in Arizona until they moved to Ames, Iowa in 1994. In 2005 they moved to The Meadows in Clarion where they lived until Ray died after 71 years of marriage.
June is survived by a son, John (Barb) Hagie of Clarion, daughter Margaret (Frank) Severino of Des Moines and a son-in-law Ted West of Chicago; eight grandchildren and fourteen great grandchildren.
June was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Raymond, a sister Mary Zelenik and a daughter Kathryn West.
