Obituary

Ailene J. Hagler, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away at her home on January 16, 2015, surrounded by family, one day after celebrated her 89th birthday. She was a constant source of joy to everyone and always had a smile for you, no matter how much pain she was in or how long she had known you.

Ailene June Woodring was born in Wichita, Kansas, on January 15, 1926, the 2nd of 3 daughters to Fred and Bertha Jewell (Bennett) Woodring. She was especially close to her sisters, Betty and Dixie, and spent many enjoyable years with them, growing up in Wichita, Concordia and Salina, Kansas. It was there, in school, she met the great love of her life, Harry Robert “Bob” Hagler, to whom she would marry on October 14, 1945, and spend the next 69 years visiting many places, raising her family, and enjoying everything around her. Ailene and Bob travelled and lived throughout the country; in Indiana, Kansas, New Mexico, California and, finally, Texas. Together they raised three children; Michael Robert “Mike” Hagler, Janette Lee “Jan” Hagler Cole, and Douglas Allen “Doug” Hagler, and she spent many years being a capable Cub Scout and campfire girl leader, school parent, and, most of all, friend to all who knew her. In later years, she and Bob travelled the country in their RV, where they enjoyed seeing the great sights of the country including Death Valley, Mojave, Yellowstone, and many other great parks. No matter where she was, Ailene made friends with anyone she came in contact with and was beloved by all.

Ailene is preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Jewell Woodring, and her son, Mike. She is survived by her husband of 69 years, Bob, daughter, Jan (Charlie) Cole, Doug (Penny) Hagler, grandchildren, Candace (Chris) Andrew, Mindy (Tim Cook) Hagler, Ashley (Kevin Green) Hagler, Lindsay Hagler, Grace Hagler, and six great-grandchildren,  Alexis, Hailey, Emeri, Kyndall, Kash, and Mason, all of Dallas, TX, her two sisters, Betty Scheibler of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Dixie Pakaki of Salina, Kansas, as well as a multitude of nieces, nephews and friends who will always cherish their relationship with Ailene.

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
