Mary Clare (Stiles) Hackett, age 84, passed away Friday, July 12, 2019. She was a graduate of Highland High School in 1952 and attended one semester at a women’s college in Texas. Mary Clare was known for her very strong faith and was always actively involved with the Catholic Church. She also loved fashion and modeling – teaching college level courses in modeling, design, and merchandising in Hutchinson, KS and having her own Fashion TV show in Grand Junction, CO. Mary Clare’s love for sweets was known far and wide by family and friends, especially hot fudge sundays. Mary Clare was a romantic at heart and she found her “romantic” in Hugh Hackett, who she was lucky enough to spend fifteen happy years with before Hugh passed in 2009.
Mary Clare was preceded in death by her parents, Florence and James Stiles; and by her husband, Hugh Hackett. She is survived by her sister, Nancy Mounday (Stiles); sons, Tom and David Faddis; David’s wife, Lulu; and two grandchildren, Myla and Hudson. She was also known as mom and grandma “Foo Foo” to all of Hugh’s children and grandchildren.
A Rosary will be recited on Monday, August 5, 2019 at 9:30 a.m.
