Diana Catherine Haskell 1931-2006
...Obituary
Diana Catherine Haskell died at age 75 in Austin, Texas. She struggled with cancer of the jaw for the past year and finally succumbed on November 13, 2006.
Mrs. Haskell had recently retired from practice as a Licensed Master Social Worker and Advanced Clinical Practioner. She specialized in individual and family therapy and she conducted her own private practice in Houston, Texas. She held a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology from the University of Missouri (1952) and a Masters Degree from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration (1960). She also received a Lifetime Teachers Certificate - State of Missouri - from Harris Teachers College. She was the recipient of three scholarships while pursuing her studies in social services. Her certifications included that of an ACSW-CSW-ACP from the State of Texas, as well as State Teachers Certificates from the States of Illinois and Missouri.
In addition, Mrs. Haskell attended numerous courses and undertook several research projects in psychology at the University of Houston. An example of her research is the paper she presented in 1987 to the 11th Annual National Conference of Social Workers: "Television/Movie Violence and Psychological Processing of Aggression Management". Mrs. Haskell studied with prominent individuals in her field such as renowned psychologist Bruno Bettelheim at the University of Chicago.
Mrs. Haskell devoted her life to others in a varied career in public service, including work as a teacher, social worker, case worker, and public assistant. For example, in casework for the Bensenville Home Society, she worked primarily with foster children and their adoptive parents, including disturbed parents and children. She secured proper home environments, counseled parents, maintained follow-up procedures, and attended court hearings. Another example of her public service was the development and implementation of a pre-school program for the Grace Presbyterian Church of Houston.
Diana was the youngest of three children of the late Jesse Bremer and the late Eunice Bremer of Hillsboro, Illinois. She married Weston Haskell of Edwardsville, Ill., in 1965 and bore their son, Walter, in 1967. She also helped raise Mr. Haskell's small children, Patrick and Cindy from a previous marriage. The couple was divorced in 1985.
Mrs. Haskell is survived by her son, Walter Haskell, of Austin, Tex.; sister, Jane Price of Hendersonville, NC; brother, John Bremer, of Fort Lauderdale, FL; step-son, Patrick Haskell of Austin, Tex.; and step-daughter, Cindy Rose of Sturbridge, MA.
