Born Henrietta Elizabeth Hauersperger on February 17, 1936 in Gilman, Iowa, she was the daughter of Henry and Elizabeth (McClean) Hauersperger. Henrietta and her family farmed outside Gilman and Newberg. She graduated from Newburg High School in 1954. Henrietta attended Marshalltown Community College and married Richard Arment. They had 3 children. They divorced. Henrietta eventually remarried on January 11, 1986 to the love of her life, Bill Bogan, at the United Methodist Church in State Center. Together they made their home in State Center.
Always one to take pride in her work, Henrietta dedicated 33 years working as the city clerk in State Center. While living and working in State Center she volunteered at the State Center Little League concession stands and served the United Methodist Church. After retiring from the City of State Center in 2008 Henrietta moved to Huxley. She enjoyed volunteering at Ballard Community School concession stands for middle school events. Henrietta was also an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church, taking part in everything from the women’s club and choir to helping in the kitchen with many church dinners. In her free time, she enjoyed crocheting, bird-watching, baking and gardening.
Henrietta had a strong sense of independence and practicality that she instilled in her family. She also taught them to use common sense, to own their decisions and to face any consequences head-on. Her guidance, unconditional love and support are just a few of the traits that will allow her spirit to live on through her family. Her grandchildren loved spending time at grandma’s, enjoying her delicious baked goodies and homemade beef and noodles, as well as rolling down her hill.
Family left to cherish those memories and continue her legacy of love include her children: Rosalie (Dave) Knight, Michael Arment and James (Diana) Arment; grandchildren: David (Traci) Knight II, Dayna Arment, Michael (Alison) Knight and Jake Arment; great-granddaughter, Olivia Knight; her sister-in-law, Elizabeth “Beth” Hauersperger; and sister, Rosemary (Larry) Ashing.
In death, Henrietta is reunited with her loving husband, Bill Bogan; her parents; and her beloved brother, Bill Hauersperger.
