My thoughts are with the Haskell family. Mrs. Haskell was my Cosmetology teacher from 1974 thru 1976. She helped changed some of my character flaws which in turn helped ne be the person I am today. Thought of her quite often through out the years. Blessed to have known her.

OUr thoughts and prayers to the family of Mrs Haskell... I believe we were one of her first classes at OWTS and we may have given her a hard time but she took it in stride and did her best...I went onto have a very successful career in cosmetology and can give her part or the credit for not giving up on us! May she now rest and take pride in her work here on earth! Class of '74 OWTS

To the family of Alice Haskell, I am saddened to hear of her passing..I too was a student, earning the shop award in 1982..I can hear her voice and see her face, she did leave a piece of herself with all of us, and we were so busy learning and growing, that we missed the fact that she had a large family of her own..my heart goes out to all of you, just know that she made a difference for alot people that passed through that classroom.

Mrs. Haskell was a great teacher with a great smile. Class of 84 was a fun hairdressing class we drove her crazy with our squirt gun fights in the halls to painting the freshmen boys nails right before a fire drill so they would have to go outside with there nails done. She would just smile at us we knew she loved us all & we all loved her. My thoughts & prayers are with her family. You will be missed
