This page has unhatpily been created to recognize those Hat Ladies who are no longer with us. We wish to honor them as they had honored The Hat Ladies and hat wearing traditions. We love them and miss them, and we are comforted by the fact they have simply replaced a hat with a halo.
We are also honoring those wonderful Hat Men in our lives who have so lovingly supported their lady's love of hats and who have been a part of our volunteer family.
Everett Alster, husband of Anne, was always the first to toss his hat in our ring when it came to being a Senior Guide for the Home and Garden Tours we supported in the Fall and Spring. He was also an outstanding volunteer for his church and other community causes.

LaQuines Brown came to her first Hat Ladies luncheon, looked all around the room, and announced, "I am home." This beautiful Lady fit in beautifully with her sweet charm and kind spirit. |
Betty Lauren left behind a legion of friends. Everyone loved this elegant Lady who worked as a realtor with her sons. She was a "people-person" who loved doing lunch and bringing her grands to our Promenade. |

Adele Borkowski was one of our youngest members; she tragically died giving birth to her third child. Despite her busy home life, she always found time to volunteer and come to luncheons and HaTpy Hours. She loved hats and being a Hat Lady so much a hat sat atop her coffin. |
Charline Murray was a lady who loved to travel and to dance. It was always something to toast when she was in town and could join us. She cut an elegant figure with her husband and her dog at Promenades. |
 Jan Hucks was a sister to Ruth Mazyck. They shared their love of hats, and we all shared Jan's wicked sense of humor and musical talents. |
Grace Fuller was one of our first Hat Ladies. Even years after her passing, her children spoke of how much she loved being a member. |
