Marsha A. Haugen Wagenhauser rose to heaven to lay her crown at the throne of Jesus to live forever on Feb. 13, 2010. Born Aug. 5, 1955, in Hot Springs to Millard and Sylvia Sue Haugen, they moved to Columbia Falls until she graduated from Columbia Falls High School. She met Ralph Wagenhauser; they were married March 22, 1975, and together they had Ryan and Heidi whom she loved, taught and served with the wisdom and excellence that only a woman of God could accomplish. Settling in Great Falls she attended and led BSF groups and found their church home at Valley Community Bible Church where she met her beloved brothers and sisters in Christ with whom she would pray, worship and serve her Lord and Savior. Marsha continued to work at the Great Falls Clinic where she was loved and supported by all her co-workers. She will be greatly missed. She was truly a good friend who touched the lives of everyone she came in contact with. You could not help but see the light of the Father in her heart. Marsha loved family gatherings and parties. All those that knew her will love and remember her always for her jokes, laughing, and the pure joy from her love, zest for life and serving God. Even in the midst of her battle with Non-Hodgkin s lymphoma she continued to laugh and look for the beauty and chances to witness to grow the kingdom of God. Marsha leaves behind her best friend and husband, Ralph; son, Ryan, and his wife, Erica, of Seattle; daughter, Heidi, of Great Falls; sister, Arla Wilson, of Columbia Falls; brother, M.G. Sonny Haugen, and his wife, Lucy, of Great Falls; and brother, Milt Haugen, and his wife, Wanda, of Kalispell; and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends who will miss her laugh, sense of humor and who can t wait to be welcomed into the arms of our Father where she will be waiting for that second hug. A celebration of Marsha s life will be held at 11 a.m. Feb. 20, at Valley Community Bible Church, 3400 Flood Road, Great Falls. A luncheon with laughter and hugs will immediately follow. She will be laid to rest at Woodlawn Cemetery in Columbia Falls, at 2 p.m. Feb. 19. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, or The American Cancer Society. From Marsha s Caring Bridge Web site: We have such a wonderful Savior who tasted death so we could taste His goodness. He left the splendor of heaven to bring us to glory and He gave His own life to give us hope for eternal life! Hallelujah! Is it any wonder we sing, Great are you Lord? Have a blessed day. Much love, Marsha
