Steamboat Today
November 22, 2003Steamboat Springs and Denver resident Isabel Magnusson died Oct. 29, 2003. She was 91.
Ruth Isabel Haskell Magnusson was born Feb. 27, 1912, in Sawtelle, Calif., to Ruth King and Paul Leland Haskell.
The family moved to Illinois in 1915, and Isabel's father died four years later.
Isabel graduated from Augustana College in 1932 with a degree in math and Latin. She taught school for two years in Carthage, Ill.
She married John Robert Magnusson, also of Rock Island, Ill., the day after school ended. The couple was married for 46 years when Bob passed away in 1980. They had four children together.
Isabel enjoyed an adventurous life with her military husband and their children. The family moved to Austria less than two years after the end of World War II. During their time in Austria, the family skied, toured most European nations and made the best of every situation.
The family lived in Fort Benning, Ga., for several years upon their return to the United States while Isabel's husband, Lt. Col. Bob Magnusson, went to Korea as an artillery battalion commander. The family moved to Fort Sill, Okla., upon his return from Korea. The next military assignment took the Magnusson family to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where a constant flow of adventures awaited them. The most memorable trip involved flying to the head of the navigable section of the Amazon River and touring the river all the way to where it meets the Atlantic Ocean.
After returning from Brazil, the family lived in Chicago, Lisbon, Portugal and Fort Huachuca, Ariz., where Isabel enjoyed a busy social life that included golfing, playing bridge and entertaining military folks.
Col. Magnusson retired from the military in 1964, after which he taught chemistry and geology at Sierra Vista High School. During this time, Isabel turned her devotion to her children and grandchildren.
Isabel never lost her lust for adventure. She seemed to be attracted to places with unrest, such as her trip to Prague one month before communists took over and a trip to Saigon a month before it fell. She also was in Yugoslavia during conflicts there and in Beijing during the Tiananmen Square demonstrations. She also traveled down the Mississippi, returned from England via the Concord jet and made several trips to Europe, Asia and Australia. She visited all 50 states, the last coming during a trip to North Dakota in 2001. She traveled almost completely around the world by ship, train, car and plane.
To the very end of her life, Isabel was a gracious lady. Always friendly to everyone, she knew how to deal with people ranging from the president of Portugal to a carpenter to the man on the street. She lived a very full and exemplary life. She was a member of the Denver chapter of the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution.
She is survived by Edwin Robert Magnusson, his wife, Dianne, and their sons Robert, Andrew and Rori; Barbara Ficke, her husband, Jim, and their children Jim and Roberta; John A. Magnusson, his wife, Joy, and their children John, Amy, Jay, Meri, Dana and Steve; and Jane Henninger, her husband, Don, and their children, Tina, Garth and Karin. Isabel had 15 grandchildren.

Extract of letter from H. Leland Haskell to Marion Anderson (Haskell Family Association genealogist) dated July 30, 1991Born in Sawtelle, California (now West Los Angeles), my family relocated to Naperville, Iinois where my father, Paul Leland Haskell died December 3, 1918. After a brief stay at my maternal grandmother's home in Springfield, Illinois, my mother married Walter Newman Haskell and we relocated to Rock Island, Illinois. I graduated from Rock Island High School in 1931, and in 1932 I joined the 31st Organized Division, U.S. Naval Reserve and entered Augustana College, both in Rock Island. Graduating from Augustana with an A.B. degree in 1936, I was commissioned an Ensign in the Naval Reserve in November 1936.
I married Audrey Elaine Carlson on Saturday, September 30, 1939 in Morrison, Illinois. I was then working for my step-father, Walter Newman Haskell, who was a brother of my grandfather, William Woodwell Haskell. Walter was a Patent Attorney and I worked in his office for ten years as secretary and patent draftsman until my active naval duties began.
Business was a little slack those days and my step-dad was actually supporting two households, his and mine, so just a little more than two months after Audrey and I were married, I heeded a call from the Navy and volunteered for one year's active duty. (That one year stretched to twenty years naval service) I reported on board the U.S.S. COLORADO, a Battleship (BB-45), in Long Beach, California January 6, 1940, and was assigned to the Radio Division of the Communications Department. Five months later, I became the ship's Signal Officer and Signal Division Officer. Incidentally, the COLORADO was the only Battleship of the Pacific Fleet not at Pearl Harbor at the time of the Japanese attack on December 7, 1941. We were in dry dock in the Bremerton, Washington Naval Shipyard, across Puget Sound from Seattle.After three and a half years on the COLORADO, I was ordered to the Staff of the Commander, Carrier Division TWENTY-TWO as Aide and Flag Lieutenant to the Admiral. Between the COLORADO and the Carrier Division, I spent thirteen months in the South Pacific not seeing my family the whole time.
Subsequent naval duties included Head of the Seamanship Department, U. S. Naval Reserve Midshipmen's School at the University of Notre Dame; graduate of the Senior Course and on the Staff as an instructor of Strategy and Tactics, and Communications Officer, U.S Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island; 1948 Commanding Officer of the U.S.S. WANTUCK (APD-125) out of San Diego, California and stationed with the U.S. SEVENTH Fleet in Tsingtao, China for seven months with calls to Shanghai and Nanking; Force Communications Officer on the Staff of Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Far East, and Officer in Charge of U.S. Naval Radio Station, Tokyo. My family resided with me in Tokyo for two years. We moved from Tokyo to Boston where I was ordered to the Staff of Headquarters, FIRST Naval District as District Communications Officer and Commanding Officer, U.S. Radio Station, Boston; Commanding Officer, U.S.S. FRED T. BERRY (DDE-858) home port, Newport, Rhode Island, serving on cruises of two and a half months and six months with the U.S. SIXTH Fleet in the Mediterranean with stops in Portugal, Gibraltar, Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Sicily, Greece, Turkey and Algeria; U.S. Naval War College, Academics Department searching for outstanding professors to fill five professorial chairs for one year's duration; Operations Officer for the Naval Command College of the Naval War College, a one year class for Senior Foreign Naval Officers; and finally back to the Staff of the Commandant, FIRST Naval District from which I finally retired on May 1, 1960.
Since 1947 when we purchased a home in Coronado, California, we have owned homes in Waltham, Massachusetts, Newport, Rhode Island, South Braintree and Melrose, Massachusetts, Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, Fredericksburg and Locust Grove, Virginia, and presently in Pataskala Ohio, just East of Columbus. We also resided in rentals in Long Beach, San Diego and San Francisco, South Bend, Indiana, Portsmouth, Rhode Island and Springfield, PA. Also, Seattle and Bremerton, Washington.
My Navy travels in the Pacific took me to Eniwetok, Guam, Okinawa, Korea and the Fiji and New Hebrides Islands as well as New Caledonia, and in the Atlantic to Bermuda, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Kingston, Jamaica, Cap Haitien, Haiti, Cape Verde Island, Portugal, and Argentia, Newfoundland.

June 11, 2022James Palmer Haskell passed from this life on June 8, 2022. He was born on November 26, 1929 in Sterling, Illinois. He was the son of James and Grace (Palmer) Haskell.
Jim attended Sterling schools, graduating from Sterling Township High School with the class of 1947. After high school, he enrolled in Chillicothe Business College to study accounting. From 1948 through 1949, he served in the US Air Force, followed by 5 years in the Air Force Reserves. In 1951, he married the love of his life, Carmen Grewe, and began his career in the family business, Haskell's Gifts and Office Supply Store. In the early '70s, with two daughters, Faythe and Diana, involved in pursuing their educations, his wife Carmen left her teaching career to join him in the management of the family business. After many years in retail sales, they sold the business in 1996.
Some favorite memories from Jim: Jim and his dad saw Babe Ruth hit a home run around 1933-1934 in Chicago, got a ride in a Ford Tri Motor airplane (had wicker seats), drove to Mexico City in a 1938 Buick (no interstate highways), earned a pilots license in 1979, met Stan Laurel of Laurel and Hardy movie fame when with his cousin collecting on his paper route in California. He was a charter member and served as president of Sterling noon Rotary Club, as well as the YMCA.

He is survived by his beloved and loving wife Carmen; his two daughters, Faythe Freese and Diana Zimmerman and their husbands, Jerry Freese and John Zimmerman; plus three nephews (Kevin, Kent and Rick) and one niece (Kathleen).
Jim was preceded in death by his parents, sister Ellen Zigler, brother-in-law, Gerald Zigler, and a stillborn sister, Mary.
