Roberta Arlene Hasek, age 93, of Sac City, IA, passed away Tuesday, March 24, 2015, at Methodist Manor in Storm Lake, IA.

    Roberta was born on February 21, 1922, to parents Benjamin and Viola (Croston) Held in Hinton, IA.  She grew up in Hinton and graduated from Hinton High School.  She went on to further her education at Morningside College in Sioux City, IA, where she received a Bachelor of Arts degree in education.  She was baptized and confirmed into her faith in Hinton, IA.

   Roberta found a life partner in Robert Lou Hasek, and they were married on March 17, 1943.  Roberta worked as a teacher and a homemaker.  She had many varied interests including reading, sewing, crocheting, cooking, baking pies, kolaches, cinnamon rolls, and hoska.  She also enjoyed playing golf, boating, doing jigsaw puzzles and puzzle books.  Roberta belonged to a sewing club and a bridge club.  She loved watching all sports on her big screen TV.  She was an avid Iowa Hawkeye fan. She made many afghans, Christmas stockings, tree skirts, Barbie doll clothes, and pot holders for the church bazaars.  She cherished the time she spent with her family and was very proud of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She loved family vacations at the Ozarks. Her legacy was how she always put others before herself.  She will be dearly missed by all those that knew and loved her.

  Those left to cherish her memory include her sons: Larry Hasek of Stuart, FL, Wayne (Christine) Hasek of Fairmont, MN; daughter Linda (Larry) Hecht of Storm Lake, IA; grandchildren: Jennifer Hecht of Storm Lake, IA, Alisa (Chris) Crandell of Johnston, IA, Shelli (TJ) Dredla of Scottsbluff, NE, Andrew Hasek of Fairmont, MN, Angela Hasek of Fairmont, MN, Ian Hasek of Fairmont, MN, and Heather Hasek of Stuart, FL; great-grandchildren: Nicholas, Mallory, and Tyler Crandell, and Tommy Dredla; sisters: Carol Burr of Cedar Rapids, IA, and Darlene (Dale) Harris of Sioux Falls, SD; and many nieces, nephews, extended family members and friends.

“Dear Linda, Larry, Wayne and families,
You have our deepest sympathies on the passing of your dear mom. We regret that we'll be unable to attend her funeral as Thom is in Tucson right now packing up his 91-year-old mother and will fly her to Sioux City to live. We're thankful that we had the opportunity to stop and see your mom during the summer. We reminisced about the 11 years we enjoyed living next door to your parents and how much we missed Bob. Your parents were such special people and so kind to us. They were like parents to Thom and me and Anne said yesterday that Roberta was like a grandma to her. We remember them fondly and trust that your memories will comfort you at this difficult time. We so enjoyed the family pictures on the Farber & Otteman website. Thank you for posting them and for sharing your parents with us.

Barb & Thom Borchert”
