Debbie Hauge
Debbie Hauge, 51, of rural Ray, ND, formerly of Miles City, MT, died unexpectedly at her rural Ray residence on Saturday, June 4, 2011. Friends may sign the on-line register book and give their condolences at www.fulkersons.com

Debbie (Ohnstad) Hauge was born in Miles City, Montana, on November 23, 1959. Debbie was always helpful to her friends and especially her family, because for Debbie, family always came first. When Debbie made a friend she held onto that friendship for the rest of her life. Debbie’s kind heart and big smile were only surpassed by a desire to get someone else to smile by razzing them just a little. Debbie always took time to help her family in times when they needed a hand and she put her own medical problems on a back burner.
Debbie really enjoyed going for short drives with Wayne to look at fields and watch crops grow. She always liked to go get parts as long as she did not have to describe anything once she got there, because saying Wayne needs this thingy on some big machine was somehow just a little short on description. Cell phones are a parts runner’s best friend. Debbie also worked as a receptionist helping Wayne at the office in Ray, greeting everyone with a smile.
Debbie was preceded in death by her grandparents; Uncle Bill; Aunt Darlene; and Uncle Lee.
Debbie is survived by her husband, Wayne Hauge of Ray, ND; three sons, Raymon Hauge of Fargo, ND, Brandon (Kylene) Hauge of rural Williston, ND and Jordon (Alisha) Hauge of West Fargo, ND; along with three grandchildren; her parents, Sam and Joan Ohnstad of Miles City, MT; brother, Doug Ohnstad of Miles City, MT; sister, Kathy (Tim) Waldo of Ft. Benton, MT; as well as nieces, a nephew, many cousins and extra Grandmas who are friends of the family.
Debbie will be missed by all.
Fulkerson Funeral Home of Williston and Stevenson and Sons Funeral Home of Miles City are assisting the family with the arrangements.
