Mom passed away a few days short of her 92nd birthday at the age of 91 in San Marino.
She was born in Los Angeles to Mildred and Harry Haake. She attended Polytechnic and graduated from Westridge School in Pasadena then graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder.
At the early age of 12, Mom became a member of the San Marino Community Church and continued being an active member until her passing. Mom was president of the Seeder and Weeders Garden Club, co-chair of the annual Pasadena Guild of Children Hospital Treasures and Trivia sale and perpetual Linen section matriarch. She was also a member of the Pasadena Town Club and assisted with the annual Christmas holiday decorating.
But, most of all, Mom truly loved her family, home and garden.
She will be missed by her daughter and son-in-law Patricia and Rudy Colonello, son William Plunkett, grandson Connor Plunkett, and the family dog Lacy.
A private family service was held. Memorial donations may be made to the Pasadena Guild of Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles., P.O. Box 51101 Pasadena, CA 91115.
