"Mrs. H". Was my mentor as well as my friend. I will miss our little side talks we had from time to time.
She knew how much I loved working at Hougen Manufacturing, and cared about each and every person who worked with me. I was very fortunate and proud of meeting her and just knowing her...
She is in my heart..she is missed.

To the Hougen Family, It was a pleaseure to know both Doug and Teri during my years at GMI now Kettering and at Hurley Medical Center and the Hurley Foundation. Teri and I would go out for long lunches where we would talk about families, trips and laugh a lot. She was a special person. The gifts made to Hurley from Mr. & Mrs Hougen personally and from the Hougen Foundation made a difference for the patients and families we treat. They will be missed but their legacy continues in Hurley's...
