| Today's News-Herald, Lake Havasu City, AZ >>> Published on Thursday, February 23, 2017 <<< Marlin F. (Fred) Haag, 93, passed peacefully in the caring hands of Hospice of Havasu Feb. 20, 2017 in Lake Havasu City. Born Dec. 3, 1923 in Curwensville, Pennsylvania to Fred and Georgie (London) Haag, Fred spent his youth in the hills of Pennsylvania, later relocating to Niagara Falls, New York. After serving in the U.S. Army during WWII, Fred married Jeanne McGill and spent the next 67 years by her side. Together they raised two children. After retiring, Fred and Jeanne travelled to many states. They spent several years in Colorado and Florida until settling in Lake Havasu City 19 years ago. An electrician and welder by profession, he also had the talent to build and repair most anything he set his mind to. He was a member of IBEW for over 55 years. He had a green thumb and enjoyed planting and tending to his gardens. He loved to hunt and fish and was an exceptional stained glass artist. Fred was a member of the Eagles, The Moose and the American Legion where he was loved by all due to his great sense of humor and the seemingly endless repertoire of stories and jokes that he shared. “Never lose your sense of humor” was his motto. He was preceded in death by his parents, brother Admiral, half- brothers Don, Thornton, Ken, Emery, Charlie and Ronald and half- sister Peggy. He is survived by his wife Jeanne, son Kenneth Haag (JoAnne), daughter Marlene Singer, grandson Jason Rivardo (Christina) and their son Austin, half-sister Patty Picard and numerous nieces and nephews. The viewing is 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home, Friday, Feb. 24. Rosary is 1 p.m. at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church followed immediately by Mass of Christian Burial and interment at Lake Havasu Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations in Fred’s memory to either Hospice of Havasu or Honor Flight Arizona. Services were placed in the care of Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home.
