Barbara Rae Hageman, born September 25, 1945 in Shabbona Illinois, was unexpectedly taken home to our Lord on December 6th, 2024 due to a car accident near her home in Millsboro Delaware. The family is deeply saddened and shocked by her sudden passing.
She is preceded in death by her parents James and Aliene Smith; her birth parents, Tex and Vera DeFord Roberts; brothers, Craig Roberts Fairall and Vernon Roberts; sisters, Betty Weber and "Barbara" Teeny Dart.
Barbara is survived by her husband, Fredrick John Hageman; Son, Frederick James Hageman and Wife Cassey; Daughter, Heather Aliene Bethurum and husband Corey; Son, Andrew Thomas Hageman and wife Kelly; Grandchildren, Oscar, Almalinda, Analucia, Joanna Pearl Hageman, Tiffany Matthews-Miller; and her sister; Vanessa Harris.
Barbara had recently survived her 8-year battle with cancer and had been completely cured before the Lord called her home. She lived her faith as an example for everyone around her and never met a person that she would not pray for or talk to about God. Her children made her a mother; however, she was a mother to anyone she met. She was an amazing influence and mentor at Lighthouse Christian School and countless other institutions and her legacy will carry on.
A service to celebrate Barbara's life and reception will be conducted at 11:00am, Wednesday, December 18, 2024, at the Dagsboro Church of God At 32224 Dupont Blvd, Dagsboro DE 19939. The family will receive friends beginning at 10:00am. In Lew of Flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Lighthouse Christian School by contacting them at 302-732-3309 or by visiting www.lighthousechristianschool.com
