Ardell ''RD'' Hagen

Ardell “R.D.” Hagen, 78, Tallahassee, FL gently passed away Wednesday, February 15, 2012 at Capital Regional Medical Center. R.D. was born on November 3, 1933 to Art and Julia Sundstrom in Alcester, S.D. She graduated from Alcester High School. After obtaining her degree, she worked as an elementary school teacher. R D. married the love of her life, Wayne “Bud” Hagen on November 28, 1954. At that time, she dedicated her life to her family and Bud’s military career as an Air Force pilot. R.D.‘s second love was a career in Mary Kay. She guided her recruits with great energy and enthusiasm. She became a Sr. Director and drove the ultimate pink Cadillac. She kept the “Mary Kay enthusiasm down in her heart” throughout her days. R.D.’s other passions were The Retired Officers Association (TROA), teaching English-second language and playing bridge. We will miss dearly her daily inspirational emails. She is survived by son, Todd Hagen, daughters, Sherryl, Monica (Dan Foster), Angela and foster son, Randy Pack, grandchildren: Shannon, Sheena, Daniel, James, Kristen, one great-grandchild, Riley, one brother Charles Sundstrom.
