Obituary

Mimi Hauser passed away on Saturday, October 1, 2022, surrounded by the love of her husband and children. She was born in Copenhagen, Denmark on October 10, 1947, and moved to Racine, Wisconsin in 1954 with her parents, Lissy and Paul Ernst and her sister, Kate Ernst.

She received her Registered Nurse Degree from St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing in Racine, Wisconsin. She worked at Theda Clark Hospital in Neenah for many years and then went on to work in cardiac rehabilitation with Dr. John Haselow and then Dr. Edward Scanlan. Mimi then became a devoted health nurse at St. Elizabeth's Hospital and finished her career as the employee health nurse at Kimberly-Clark Corporation.  She was dedicated to her professional life and was always there to help others.

Mimi loved camping with her family, enjoyed running many races and marathons, participated in triathlons and loved to bike the Wisconsin Trail system. Mimi's strong faith guided her throughout her life. Later in life, she became an active member and official Greeter at Christ the Rock Community Church where her remarkable gift of serving and loving others will always be remembered.

Mimi is survived by her beloved husband of 51 years, John Hauser; her son, Scott and his wife Becky Hauser; her daughter, Krista and her husband Tony Chaves; her grandchildren: Quetzal, Trogon, Connor; step-granddaughter, Josslyn; and her sister, Kate Ernst and her partner Sid Keith.  Mimi was a loving mother and grandmother and will be missed not only by her family, but by all those who loved her and all those whose lives she touched.

Mimi's Celebration of Life will be held at Christ the Rock Community Church 6:00 PM on Tuesday, October 18, 2022. The visitation time will be held from 5:00 PM until the hour of service. In lieu of flowers a memorial fund is being established for the Salvation Army.

Mimi gets the biggest candle because she was always the light in whichever room she entered!  kind, giving,witty, intelligent & always made whomever she was with feel special. She was especially proud of her family & encouraged me to adopt to experience the joy of a family.  She was also very wise!  She certainly was loved and will be missed! May all the great memories she left help her family & loved ones through this difficult time !  I'm sure she's livening up heaven for us. Love , Cecile

When Cecile moved to Wisconsin, perhaps no one in my family felt it deeper than I did. All those years sharing everything----the same room, the same “twin” clothes, and often as not, the same one special Christmas present. Yet as close as siblings are, separation is a necessary part of growing up and finding your true place. Once I heard stories of Cecile cycling, running, and camping with her friends, it was not long before the name, “Mimi” became familiar. So, when I finally got the chance to meet her, I experienced a strange sense of reunion. I am so grateful to have had the chance to meet this joyous person who gave so much; truly a bright light in the dark wintery world of Wisconsin. We will all miss her wit, her cookies, and her generosity of spirit. But one thing for sure---her love will live on. May God bless Mimi, her family, and all those who continue to cherish the friendships made. Much love, Michelle

Mimi was the best sister anyone could ever have. She was always there for me, whenever I needed her. Even when we were separated geographically, we always remained in touch. I will never forget how much she has done for me. I shall miss her very much. I will always love you, my dear Mimi, until the day we will be together again.
