Obituary For Paul Eugene Hauser

Paul Eugene Hauser, 93, passed away at 3:58 a.m. Tuesday, March 6, 2012, at his residence in Wintersville with his loving family by his side.  He was born November 28, 1918, in Detroit, Mich., the son of the late Earnest A. and Rose Muller Hauser.  At the age of five, his parents moved from Detroit to Pittsburgh and Mr. Hauser attended Pittsburgh Public Schools. In 1936, he graduated from Schenley High School in Pittsburgh.  Upon graduating high school, he worked several years as a salesman before, in March of 1941, he joined the U.S. Army. He became a second lieutenant in 1943 at Fort Benning, Ga., and he was shipped overseas in October of 1944 to fight for the 358th Infantry 90th Division during World War II in the European Theatre.  In late November of 1944, he was wounded in action and hospitalized in England.  For his service to the country, Mr. Hauser was awarded two Battle Stars, a World War II Victory Medal, a Combat Infantry Badge, an American Campaign Medal and a Purple Heart.  On Nov. 2, 1945, he married Marion Hake, in Bristol, England, and they moved to Steubenville. Together, they raised three children, Louise, Jeanne and Martin. In 1956, Mr. Hauser and his brother Sidney opened Hauser Furniture Company on Sunset Boulevard in Steubenville. He owned and operated the business for several decades and it remains a staple within the community, now owned by Mr. Hauser’s son, Martin. Survivors include his loving wife of 66 years, Marion at home; three children, Louise (Donald) Glenn of Fairfax, Va., Jeanne (Paul R.) Newman of Steubenville and Martin (Donna) Hauser of Steubenville; four grandchildren, Heidi Glenn (Joseph Easley) of Washington, D.C, Aaron Newman of Cleveland, Ashley Newman of Cleveland and Natalie (Sam) Ahwesh of Pittsburgh; and two great-grandchildren, Joseph and newborn Cooper Mae, both of Washington, D.C.  He was preceded in death by his parents and brother.  Private family services were held.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests expressions of condolences be made to Valley Hospice, www.valleyhospice.org or Ohio Valley Veterans Memorial Squad, c/o American Legion Post 45, 998 Main St., Follansbee, WVa 26037.  Arrangements were handled by Dunlope-Shorac Funeral Home in Wintersville.

    To the family of Paul Hauser: I am sorry for your loss. I want you to know just how much I appreciate Paul Hauser and the influence he has had on my entire family for 3 generations . . . my grandparents, parents, and my own generation (including myself) have bought furniture from Paul. The greatest thing that he always did for us was to work with us on payment plans, so that we could have something beautiful in our homes. Thank you Paul !!!! He will always be remembered by our family for his kindnesses to us in times of need.
