HAVRE - Laura (Miller) Aageson, 86, a Havre resident and homemaker who was active in her church, died of natural causes Thursday at a Havre hospital.
Laura is survived by her husband of 66 years, Eugene "Snooks" Aageson; three children, Dr. James (Julie) Aageson of Moorhead, Minn., Rachel Aageson of Kalispell, Mont., and Mark (Carrie) Aageson of Havre; a sister, Pearl Hamilton of Chinook, Mont.; and seven grandchildren, Erin (Scott) Allee of Juneau, Alaska, Anne Aageson of Bellingham, Wash., Megan Aageson of Moorhead, Minn., Amy Hanson of Park City, Utah, Michael Hanson of Kalispell and Gunnar and Ivar Aageson of Havre.
Laura was born Oct. 25, 1919, in Gildford, Mont., the daughter of Lydia and Henry Miller. She was the youngest of six children: Louis, Leonard, Lillian, Pearl and Henry. Her sister Pearl survives.
Laura graduated from Rudyard High School and attended Northern Montana College. In December 1942, she married Eugene "Snooks" Aageson. Laura and Snooks lived on their family farm at Fairchild and in Havre. During the winter months, they often traveled.
Laura and Snooks were members of Goldstone Lutheran Church until they moved to Havre, where their children began school. They joined First Lutheran Church, where Laura taught Sunday School, First Communion and was an active supporter of Lutheran League and women's groups, and volunteered in many other ways.
Laura and Snooks traveled to many places during the winters, visiting most of the United States (including Hawaii) and many European countries, including Scandinavia.
Laura's love and loyalty to family and friends were gifts to all of us. Her love of farming and Montana shaped her whole life. In her eighties, she still liked "riding the drills" with Mark during seed time. She learned to paint in her middle years and enjoyed sharing her work with her family.
Laura loved sports, especially basketball and golf, following and attending the games of many family members and was always pleased about her own state basketball title in high school. Her deep faith and trust in God was central to all she did. Most of all, she will be remembered for her generous spirit, lavishing her children, grandchildren, and extended family and friends with unconditional love and support. Blessed be her memory.
