Patricia Kay Haugen passed away July 30th at home in Forsyth, Montana surrounded by family. She had dealt bravely with cancer for several years. Patti was born in Glendive to Marlys and Bode Pomeroy, April 22, 1950. Patti graduated local schools in 1968, then Dawson Community College and then attended MSU Missoula. Graduating from Eastern Montana College, Billings, she went on to teach elementary school in Warden, Billings, and Sidney. Patti married Dick Haugen in 1978 and eventually started working in radio with Dick while owning KRBN, Red Lodge, later becoming Operation Manager at KIKC, Forsyth, where she worked for the past 25 years. Patti is survived by her husband, Dick; two daughters, Tana (Doug) Brown, and Wendy (Neil) McDaniel, 4 grandchildren, and one great grand daughter, her sister, Edie (Gregg) Dibble and two nieces, Chelsea Kroster, and Rosalind Dix. No formal Memorial service is planned her ashes will be spread at a later date near Sidney.
Patti loved kitties and taught me to love them too. Therefore I have set up a memorial fund for her at “Help for Homeless
Pets” in Billings. Any donations should be noted that they are for the “Patricia Kay Haugen Memorial Fund”.

Dick and family,
We are so sorry to learn of Patti’s death, and we want you to know you are in our prayers. She was such a smart, well-organized lady — a delight to work with and talk to. She handled our library programs so well. I remember how delighted she was with the beautiful rose in our library’s memorial garden in memory of her mother. I can still still see her smile. She will be missed.
Jeanne Clark says
Dick and family,
Patti will be missed by all who knew her. Funny and loving she was. I am proud to be her cousin-in-law.
Take care of yourself Dick.
Love you,
Jeanne and Howard
