Obituary
Gunvar Haesler died peacefully surrounded by her family on April 9, 2022 at the age of 96. She was born October 28, 1925 in Blanchardville, WI to Andrew and Elise Lien. As a musical family of seven girls and three boys, they loved singing and dancing. Gunvar was selected to sing with the popular Lawrence Welk band at the legendary Turner Hall in Monroe, WI. On October 22, 1944 she married her sweetheart, William Haesler, and together they began a life of farming in Argyle, WI. Soon they were blessed with two lively boys, David and Robert. They loved Bible study and found fulfillment and meaning in their life as Jehovah's Witnesses. Later after forming and operating a construction business for a number of years, they used their time to become full time voluntary traveling ministers. This exciting and happy work took them all over the Pacific Northwest and California from 1974 to 1996 after which they returned to Wisconsin and settled near their children in Darlington, WI.

One of her favorite activities was singing and harmonizing songs with her granddaughters. Together, Gunvar and Bill loved music and dancing. She was a very loving and supportive wife. Above all, she will be remembered for her deep faith in God and love for His word the Bible.A memorial service for Gunvar Haesler will be held virtually on Saturday, April 23, 2022, at 2:30 P.M. with Clayton Manning officiating.

I have been told many times of Gunvar's kindness as she took care of my Mom and I. My mother (Darlene Hinkins) needed to stay in bed when she was pregnant with me and Gunvar took excellent care of both of us. Praying that the many happy memories of your mom will help you through this time of loss. God Bless you all. Joy (Hinkins) Hollenberger

David and Robert and families, Your mom was such a dear. We have many fond memories of her gentle yet strong nature. We only wish we had had the opportunity to hear her sing with her siblings and your children. Not something the rest of the Haesler family did! You have our most sincere condolences.

Dave, Bob and Family, Sending our sincere condolences. I remember your Mom as a kind and loving person, with such a beautiful smile. I can remember how grateful Mom was for her help and friendship when Mom was pregnant with both Joy and Becky, and how grateful I was to have her help, as I was the oldest. I remember when your entire family came to milk our cows and stay with us, so Mom and Dad were able to go on a trip to Florida. Your Mom lived out her faith in the way she treated others. Prayers for strength and comfort being sent your way! Sincerely, Bob and Sharon Holtz
