A Plaza of Heroines at Iowa State University for Marjorie Jean Fast-Haugen:

Marjorie Jean Fast was born December 24, 1927 in Madrid, Nebraska. She was born at home on the family farm to Bertha and Henry Fast the second of four children. At age eighteen she married Ronald "Bud" Haugen in Portland Oregon. She bore three daughters Teresa Ann, Diane and Suzanne. She is a woman who lives life honorably true to her principles.

Her deep faith in God has been a source of inspiration and strength. A few adjectives to describe this lovely woman include: Talented creative loving kind intelligent and competent. Our family had many difficult times yet she remained strong and a stabilizing force. Her influence in our lives continues into adulthood. We experienced her courage as she faced breast cancer. She fought for her life ... and won! If only we could capture in words the sparkle of her personality. Faithful wife mother and grandmother. You are well loved by your husband daughters eight grandchildren and as of this writing (March 1995) eight great-grandchildren.

Her obit:

Marjorie Jean Fast was born December 24,1927 on a farm in Nebraska to Henry and Bertha Fast. She was delivered by her father when the doctor didn't get there in time, and was the second of four children. Her family moved to Oregon in 1937 in the aftermath of the Dust Bowl. During her high school years in Portland, she spent one year attending a school specializing in tailoring, where she learned pattern making and advanced sewing skills. This became a lifelong creative outlet, designing and sewing for herself and her family, as well as teaching many others to sew.

She met her future husband Bud Haugen, in Portland after WIl ended. They were married in November of 1946 and honeymooned at Timberline Lodge on Mt Hood. On the way up the mountain their car got stuck in a snowbank so they spent their first married night in the car with her brother and his girlfriend. Bud was 19 and Marjorie was 18, although she liked to say she was almost 19. She sewed herself a beautiful wedding dress, as well as the dresses for her mother and mother-in-law.

During their years in Oregon they had three daughters, Teresa Ann, DiAne and Suzanne. Job transfers moved them from Portland to Baker to Eugene, and then in 1959 to Southern CA where the family settled in LaHabra. Marj was an avid reader and enjoyed many creative endeavors over the years from building and refinishing furniture, designing her backyard landscaping, gardening, gold leafing and gave beautifully wrapped holiday gifts. She loved putting on Thanksgiving dinner and was known for her "mashed potato dance" which has been passed down in the family. She was ahead of her time having her own set of power tools, and had she been born later, may have had her own tv show on HGTV.

She loved to travel and she and Bud had the opportunity to visit many countries. They got their pilot licenses and would rent a small Cessna plane and fly to favorite locales like Catalina, Jackson Hole and Furnace Creek. They moved to the High Desert where she enjoyed her work at Hesperia High School helping students apply for college scholarships. Her creative and organizational skills were used in putting on the annual senior awards night event.

After Bud's death at age 78, she was eventually remarried at age 85 to Ray Hamel. For their honeymoon they went on a 30 day cruise to the South Pacific. They enjoyed several years of travel before she was again widowed.

Marjorie is survived by her daughter Terri and son-in-law Chuma Agbodike, daughter DiAne, daughter Suzanne and son-in-law Rick Lopez, 8 grandchildren, and many great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her entire immediate family, two husbands, one grandchild Suni Fernandez, and son-in-law Roger Gillespie.

Marjorie Jean Fast Haugen Hamel passed away on February 3, 2025 at her home in Laguna Hills, CA at the age of 97. Her faith and love of family were always of greatest importance to her. She was loved by many and will be greatly missed by those of us left behind, and has now joined all her loved ones who went before her.

The count of 8 grandchildren in her obit is confusing. Her three daughters gave birth to at least 11 children in total. Given that the obit only cites the death of one grandchild (Suni), which two are not being counted?

She is Marte Bjørnsdatter Kvam, I202, in Jim’s VS.

Jim’s notes, citing Bøye Kattevold’s (BK) “Gamalt frå Vang”:

BK skriver at hun kom fra sørre Kattevold, men det er ikke riktig. Hun var gift der, men kom fra Kvam. Faren hennes eide riktig nok en stor del av Kattevold, og kan ha brukt den gården, og kanskje er han derfra, men da Marte ble født, bodde ha n på og drev Kvam. Navnet Bjørn finnes også på Kattevold i mange generasjoner før dette. Det var barnebarnet hennes Gjartrud Bøe, datter til Mads Kattevold og Kjersti Gram som fikk en datter med stefaren sin Eivind Tune:

(BK "Gamalt frå Vang): "...So døyr Mads (faren hennes) og ekja ette hono (Kristin Gram) gjifte se att med ein steinrik bonde, eitte Eivind Knutson Tune 1722. Han flytte aat Bø og brukte gar'n saman med hono Nils, steson sino. Han fekk ikje bødn med kona si; men ho Gjartru, stedøtte hans, fekk eit badn, som ingjen vilde vera far aat. Ein dag um Hausten vart han Eivind og hona Gjartru med vesle baadne burte; de hadde søkt se ne i fjor'n uttafør Hamar. Gamle følk ha førtalt at dei hadde bønde se saman og kasta se utaaver høgste klippa. Dei sko ogso vera gravlagde paa strønden tett ve". Dette hendte 23.11.1736. Siden Gjartrud hadde gjort seg skyldig i blodskam og de regnet med at hun hadde tatt livet av seg, ble buet hennes dømt til krona (staten). Hennes arvepart av Bø, 3 1/28 skinn odelsgod, var siden statseiendom til midt på 1800-tallet, i lang tid det eneste rene krongodset i Vang. Løsøret hennes ble solgt på auksjon 28.9.1741 for ialt 5rd 3 ort.
