Joyce Hahn

Sun Prairie - Joyce Jean (Haushalter) Hahn, 77, of Sun Prairie, WI, passed away on July 21, 2019 after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Joyce was born in Milwaukee, WI to Eugene and Jeanette (Wichmann) Haushalter. She lived in Butler, WI and after graduating high school attended the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point for one year. At the age of 22, she married John James Hahn on September 14, 1963 at St. Agnes Catholic Church in Butler, WI. Joyce and John had two children, Eric James Hahn and Erin Margaret Hahn.

Joyce went on to pursue her education at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee and obtained her bachelor and master's degree in social welfare. She loved being able to hear her client's stories and help them through difficult times and greatly enjoyed her work as a psychotherapist at Transformations Inc., in Milwaukee, WI. It was during her time at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee that she met her second husband, Donald Jack Mueller. Joyce and Don were married on December 20, 1984 in Sheboygan, WI. Joyce and Don built a home together and lived at High Wind in Plymouth, WI for many years. She remained Donald's faithful companion until his unexpected death on May 24, 1994. After Don's death, Joyce relocated to Dane County to be closer to her children and grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. Joyce was always patient and kind. She would routinely ask others about themselves and was more interested in being a good listener than talking about herself.

Joyce is preceded in death by her father, her mother, and her husband, Donald J. Mueller. She is survived by her son, Eric (Maureen) Hahn, her daughter Erin (Corey) Hahn and her beloved grandchildren, Courtney, Connor, Caitlin and Colin. The family would like to thank the staff at Home Again Assisted Living and Agrace Hospice Care. The family requests that all donations be made to Agrace Hospice Care. A private service was held per Joyce's request.

Mom, rather than "teach" us how to be, you showed us. Your example of patience, kindness, and compassion have given us all something to aspire to. Thank you for your unconditional love. We will miss you dearly, until we are together again.
