About Fern Baard
Fern Helen (Hammerstrom) Baard died just one day before her 95th birthday on Monday, February 1, 2021 from injuries sustained in a fall on New Year's Eve. Fern was born on February 2, 1926 in Luck, WI to Carl (Boo) and Florence (Carlson) Hammerstrom. Fern grew up near Luck, WI with her older sister Jane. She graduated from Luck High School in 1944 and received a degree in Social Work from Hamline University in 1950. Fern met Robert Baard at a dance and they were married on September 10, 1949 in the Atlas United Methodist Church in Polk County, WI. Sadly, Fern's mother Florence died soon afterwards. Fern and Bob lived in many Wisconsin cities before coming to Madison in 1959. They had four children, Rebecca, Barbara, Paul and Ronald. On May 9th, 1985, Bob died from lung cancer. Barb died on August 1, 2020, six months before her mother. Fern worked for the Dane County Department of Human Services as a social worker for over 30 years, and retired in 1991. She was a longstanding member of Trinity United Methodist Church. Fern developed many lifelong friendships through work and church. Fern is survived by her children, Becky Martel, Paul (Sandee Schuster) Baard, Ron (Mary) Baard; nieces and nephews, Sarah, Rachel, Carl, Jeanne, Daniel; grandchildren, Lauren, Karin; great grandchildren, Caleb, Sophie; other family and many friends.
