Augusta was born the oldest of nine children on May 12, 1921 in Tiffin, OH to the late Charles and Mae (Glick) Haase.

Gus was a past member of the Erie County Senior Center Women's Auxiliary, where she had served as treasurer, secretary and president over the years. She retired from General Motors after 30 years as a production worker and lathe operator in her final years. She will be greatly missed by all those who had the privilege to know and love her.
Gus is survived by her children, Barbara (John) Mccloskey, Sharon Semrau and Steve (Sally) Biggs; several grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great grandchildren; sisters, Donna Hosman, Emma Wickard and Delores Lewis; brother, Carl (Janet) Haase and numerous nieces, nephews, and other relatives.
