Marie was born November 12, 1919 in Tyndall, SD. She was a member of St. Leo Catholic Church in Tyndall where she sang as a cantor. After her marriage to Rudy Hauck on August, 20, 1941, they attended the Dutch Reformed Church where Rudy was a member. Rudy and Marie were both involved in music in the church and he sang in the men´s quartet in the Reformed Church until he was ordained a minister in the Wesleyan Methodist Church. Throughout their years of ministry Rudy and Marie sang together and filled both their churches and home with
music. In 1963, Marie and Rudy left the farm, eventually selling it to his cousin Ray Hauck, and moved to Terry, Montana where Rudy accepted a call to be the pastor of the Wesleyan Methodist Church. In 1980 Marie and Rudy moved to Watford City, ND where Rudy served on the pastoral staff of the Wesleyan Church. In 1992 they retired in Spearfish, SD.
Marie was a devoted wife to Rudy, and dedicated mother, grandmother and great -grandmother. She is fondly remembered by her family for her delectable baking and meals. It was her faith and testimony that eventually led Rudy to come to a personal faith of his own and eventually answer a call to ministry as a pastor. Marie will also be remembered for her beautiful singing voice which graced her home and ministered to so many in church and community.
A double funeral service for both Marie and her husband, Rudy, will take place in the Wesleyan Church in Terry, Montana on Monday, October10, at 2:00 PM. Marie and Rudy will be laid to rest together in the Terry Community Cemetery, next to their son, James, and their
granddaughter, Rachelle.

Roger and Delores Flatland says
Rudy and Marie were very important people in our lives. They married us on Aug. 2 1986 in Watford City. I (Delores) ate Sunday dinner with them every week after church at the Captains Table. As a young school teacher many miles from home, Rudy and Marie took me under their wing and helped shape me into the person of faith I have today. My husband (Roger) had a great respect for Rudy and Marie and fashioned our marriage after them. We have thought of them often and they will always have a special place in our hearts. The world was blessed with these two kind and faithful servents. Our thoughts and prayers our with you during this time.

Marie gave us a cutting from her Moses’Tear plant when they left Terry. We still have it, 30 years later. Rev. Hauck introduced Tom to golf and that is also still with us. What a blessing their lives were.
Shalom

My sincerest sympathies. The entire family is in my prayers and thoughts.
Lynne Mathiason says
How well I remember the many Sunday afternoons when Rev. and Mrs. Hauck would come to Mildred to hold church with us there and to simply love on us. They were a part of my life from a young age. I am so thankful for their influence which has continued on to this very day.
My heart and prayers are with you as you say this temporary good-bye here on earth. So glad we do not grieve in hopelessness and despair but rather in the hope of God’s faithfulness.

What a legacy you have inherited from your grandparents. And what a sweet gift that they entered their eternal home together. I’ll bet there’s going to be some great singing going on these next few days – rejoice! with affection, laurie blaha
Alana (Brown) Bryan says
How wonderful that Rudy and Marie are able to enter the Gates of Heaven together – I just read the article in the Terry Tribune about the celebration of their 70th Anniversary and it brought tears to my eyes and hope to my heart that their was a love such as theirs that survived so many years – The Haucks lived just down and across the street from us and their home was always filled with love and music. . .
Laura Lingscheit says
I had the honor of getting to know and take care of Rudy and Marie at the Dorsett home. Their example of love for each other should serve as one for all couples to strive for. I am truly sorry for your loss.
Kimberly Brown Fontana says
Keep on singin’, Mrs. Hauck. The angels choir is definitely better with you in it.
Monty Peabody says
Rudy and Marie were certainly a big part in building my faith in Jesus Christ as I was growing up. It was becasuse of there faithfulness that I am 40 years later still going strong for God. I’m just one of many that their lives made a huge impact on. Thanks so much to all the Hauck family. Monty
