DEANNA (ELM) HAFEMAN
Deanna Hafeman, age 60, of 935 South 35th St., Manitowoc, died Monday afternoon,
July 27, 1998, at her residence.
A Memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, July 31, 1998, at Immanuel
Evangelical Lutheran Church, Manitowoc. Officiating at the service will be Rev.
Glenn Unke, with burial of the cremains to follow at Evergreen Cemetery,
Manitowoc.
She was born December 15, 1937, in Manitowoc, daughter of the late Peter and
Olive Meloxen Elm. Deanna was a graduate of Lincoln High School, Class of 1956.
On June 16, 1956, she married Donald O. Hafeman in Manitowoc. Deanna was employed
at Cawley Company for many years.
Survivors include her husband, Donald O. Hafeman, Manitowoc; two daughters and a
son-in-law, Dustardy Hafeman, Appleton, Desiree and Mark Arneson, Clintonville;
one son and daughter-in-law, Don G. and Kim Hafeman, Manitowoc one brother and
sister-in-law, Dale and Karen Elm, Manitowoc; two sisters, Doris Weigert and
Donna Elm, both of Manitowoc; and a sister-in-law, Grace Horner, Two Rivers. Also
surviving are three grandchildren, Casy Hafeman, Justin Hafeman, Aaron Hafeman;
along with nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. She was preceded in
death by two sisters, Loretta Elm, and Delores Elm; and a family friend, Chet
Partenski.
Friends may call at the Pfeffer Funeral Home, Manitowoc, 5 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Thursday, and her words were nothing novel, her achievements were nothing
extraordinary, but her presence was. Like a big-branched elm she could always
be leaned upon. Like a warm fireplace she was a source of comfort.
During the turbulent years of our lives Mom was one part that was predictable.
Season after season she was there. Summer vacations, homework, first cars, dating,
they all had one thing in common: her presence. And because she was there life
went smoothly. The laughter was fresh and the future secure. Because she was
there, our growing up was what God intended it to be be.
We have lots of family pictures without her. Not because she wasn't there, but
because she was always behind the camera.
She helped make decisions, broke up the fights, chuckled at Archie Bunker (our dad),
read the paper every evening, did our laundry, and fixed our meals. She didn't do
anything unusual. She only did what moms are supposed to do - be there.
She taught us how to laugh and how to pray. She helped us memorize verses for
Sunday school and taught us that wrong should be punished and that rightness has
it's own reward.
She comes to mind often; when we smell watermelon, we think of her. When we see
a grandson, we see her face and I know when we hear the names of Tarzan and
Elvira, we'll remember her and smile.
She was always there. Maybe that's why the coming days will seem a bit chilly
like a warm fireplace whose fire has gone out. The winds of time have swallowed
the splendid flame, leaving only golden embers. But there is a strange thing
about those embers, stir them a bit and a flame will dance. It will dance only
briefly, but it will dance. And it will knock just enough chill out of the air
to remind us that she is still…in a special way, very present.
