Mary Therese Kemper was born March 4, 1933 in Melrose Township, Stearns County, Minnesota, the daughter of John and Anna (Winters) Kemper. On May 1, 1962, she was united in marriage to Julian F. Haskamp in Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Melrose. Together, she and Julian raised their family of five children on the farm just south of Sauk Centre. Some of her hobbies included reading, dancing, and traveling to Canada to visit with her relatives. Mae enjoyed being involved in her community and was a member of the Merry Maker Homemakers group. Reminiscing over old photographs brought her hours of great joy. Each year on Saint Patrick's Day, Mae demonstrated her Irish heritage by wearing "green" and would encourage others to wear green too! Mae's greatest gift was hospitality -- she truly loved her time with her family and friends no matter if it was a telephone conversation or sitting at the Haskamp home enjoying a visit. On January 13, 2016, she became a resident of CentraCare Health Nursing Home in Sauk Centre where she continued to be a friend to everyone.

Mae was a member of Saint Paul's Catholic Church in Sauk Centre, Christian Mothers, Catholic United Financial, and Sauk Centre Senior Citizens.

She will be deeply missed by her husband of 54 years, Julian F. Haskamp; their children, Sharon (Jeff) Evander of Saint Joseph, MN, Linda (Loren) Hinnenkamp of Saint Joseph, MN, Sandy Haskamp of Sauk Centre, Kim Haskamp of Waite Park, MN, and Mark Haskamp of Sauk Centre; grandchildren, Samantha (Alex) Elmore of Madison, WI, Cody Evander (Tayla DeMarce) of Saint Joseph, MN, Adam (Michelle) Hinnenkamp of Clearwater, MN and Chelsey Hinnenkamp of Minneapolis; great grandsons, Leo Evander and Calvin Hinnenkamp; and her brother, Leroy (Kathy) Kemper of Melrose.

Mae was preceded in death by her parents, John and Ann Kemper; and infant brother, John Kemper.

Serving as casket bearers will be Cody Evander, Adam Hinnenkamp, Dale Haskamp, Vern Breitbach, Chuck Rein, and John Haskamp. Cross bearer will be Barb George. Words of Remembrance will be shared by Chelsey Hinnenkamp and Samantha Elmore. The funeral pall will be placed by Mae's daughters, Sharon, Linda, Sandy and Kim.
