Joy Y. Haushahn

Joy Y. Haushahn, 69, of Falls City, NE passed away September 8, 2016. She was born November 22, 1946 at Horton, KS to the late Robert and Doris (Ramer) Haushahn.

Joy was raised in Verdon, NE and she contracted Spinal Meningitis at the age of eight.  She spent six weeks in intensive care at Omaha Children’s Hospital and came home a complete invalid. After months of learning to walk and talk again, she faced a very limited future, but met her many obstacles with courage and a positive attitude. When her mother passed away in 2012, she started a new adventure of living on her own.  She met this challenge and made many friends at her new home in Falls City.

Joy is survived by sisters, Reba Benson and her husband Bill of Hickman, NE; Dee Dettmann and her husband Jerry of Salem, NE; Vernell Schutte and her husband Jack of Verdon, NE; brothers, Herbert Haushahn and his wife Marcy of Oregon, IL; Joe Jarred and his wife Debbie of Verdon, NE. She is preceded in death by her parents.

There will be a private family memorial service at a later date.

There will be no viewing or visitation.
