Alice Marie Haberkamp

Alice Marie Haberkamp, 72, of Sagle, died Wednesday, May 27, 2009 at her home. Alice’s courageous battle with ovarian cancer lasted five years, but through it all she remained strong and kept a smile on her face. She was born May 14, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois, the daughter of James and Emily Klepak Loomis. Alice attended schools in Chicago and Wheaton, Illinois. On May 16, 1953 she married the love of her life LeRoy Haberkamp. They resided in Illinois until January 10, 1972 when they moved to Sagle, Idaho. Alice was a housekeeper for various families in the Sandpoint area until her husband started his cabinetry business at which time she helped him in the shop. Alice was a devoted member of the Catholic Church. The simplest things in life brought her joy-playing cards at the weekly family dinners, chocolate milkshakes, flowers, and spending time in the woods on their property. She is survived by her husband: LeRoy Haberkamp of Sagle; 3 children: Rod (Becky) Haberkamp of Sagle, Margie (Mel) Fondse of Marysville, WA, Mike (Linda) Haberkamp of Westmond, ID; 4 grandchildren, 4 great grandchildren; 2 sisters: Margaret Hogan of Batavia, IL, Joan Holub of Atlanta, Ga. She was preceded in death by her son Clayton in 2006. The family would like to express their deep appreciation to the Clinic at Bonner General Hospital, the oncology department at Kootenai Medical Center and hospice for the love and care they demonstrated to Alice. Memorial services will be conducted 10:00AM, Saturday, May 30, 2009 at Coffelt Funeral Chapel, with Father Carlos Perez, officiating.
