Wanda Marie Hase

Wanda Marie Hase, 89, of Anna, went to her eternal home on Dec. 29, 2020, at Southeast Hospital in Cape Girardeau.

She was born on Feb. 17, 1931, in Crainville, the daughter of Herman and Effie Greenrod Dunaway.

She married Harold “Junior” Hase on June 5, 1949, in Ullin. He preceded her in death on March 29, 2011.

She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Dongola.  

She enjoyed many things. She loved being outside whether it be fishing or working in her flower and vegetable gardens.  

When living at The Voyage (River to River) in Anna, she was instrumental in starting and maintaining the many flower gardens that are still enjoyed by the residents today.  

Her artistic talent was one that she enjoyed sharing with others. She was a beautiful artist and she blessed all of her family and many friends with paintings.  

Also, she sewed, quilted, crocheted, made cards, and loved to weave baskets.  She enjoyed sharing her projects with anyone that visited her. She also inherited her family’s music ability and enjoyed singing.

She helped on the family farm when her children were young, but as they grew, she owned and operated an upholstery shop in Perks.  

She also drove the school bus for Southern Seven.  She retired after working for almost 20 years at the Choate Mental Health and Developmental Center in Anna. 

She is survived by two daughters, Janet (Jerry) Cruse and Joyce (Marion) Hill of Dongola; one son, Jerry (Sheila) Hase of Anna; six grandchildren, Lane (Dee) Cruse, Stacy Hill, Leslie (Stanley) Treat, Erica (Rodger) Goines, Heath Hase and Heston (Alysha) Hase; nine great-grandchildren, Ashton (Jake) Casey, Dalen and Evan Treat, Raegan and Riley Cruse, Garrett and Avery Goines, Claira and Rhett Hase; two great-great-grandchildren, Aliyah and Paisley Casey; two brothers, Raleigh (Cheryl) Dunaway and Leon Dunaway; brother-in-law, Bob (Barb) Hase; many cousins, nieces, nephews and other relatives.
