Conducting was Counselor Keith Izatt.  Burial was in the Freedom Cemetery.
       She was born April 12, 1899 at Richmond, Utah to Carl Gustaf Englebrickt and Elizabeth Bright Erickson, the third child in a family of 11.  She came to Star Valley with her family when five years of age and settled at Glen, Idaho, five miles north of Freedom.  She attended school in 1905-06 in a 12 x 16 foot log house with two small windows.  There was one teacher for all grades .  In 1907 a new school building was put into use for both school and church activities and also as a recreation center.  Her mother died when she was 18, and as she had to remain home much of the time to help out, her education was limited and she did not pass the 8th grade.
       She married Wilford LeRoy Haderlie June 10, 1920 in the Logan LDS Temple.  Two children were born to them, Earl and Jean.
       She loved music, dancing and quilting, learning to dance when her father was floor manager of a dance hall, and she was his partner when he called for square dances.
       LaFern was a firm believer in prayer, which was a great source of strength to her.  She was very active in church work and filled many positions, including choir member for 40 years; Sunday School and Primary teacher, Sunday School secretary; Sunday School chorister; Primary secretary; Primary president for three years; Stake Missionary 1 1/2 years; Stake Mission secretary five years; and Relief Society visiting teacher for 45 years.
       Her pride and joy were her devoted husband, children, grandchildren and great grandchilren, and her home.  She maintained a clean, well kept home, and always had cookies and fresh bread on hand.
       Surviving are her husband, Wilford L.; a son, Earl C. Haderlie, Freedom, Wyoming; a daughter, Mrs. Rand (Jean) Merritt, Bedford, Wyoming; 12 grandchildren; six great grandchildren; seven sisters and four brothers; Mrs. Wilford (Mable) Jenkins, Carl Golden Erickson, Mrs. Glen (Alice Augusta) Jenkins, Newel Erickson and Alvin August Erickson, all of Freedom; Byron Parley Erickson, Ogden, Utah; Mrs. James (Lucy Pearl) Wilson, Richfield, Idaho; Mrs. Melvin (Hilda Victoria) Wright; Lewisville, Idaho; Mrs. Delviln (Veda) Passey, Thayne, Wyoming; Mrs. Owen (Zelda) Draney, Cody, Wyoming; and Mrs. Ivan (Berniece) Nelson, Salt Lake City.
