Donald Lee Haller

On Friday, August 19th, Donald Lee Haller, loving husband, brother, and father of five children, passed away at the age of 84. Don was born on February 18, 1938 in Evansville, IN to the late Leo and Marge Haller. He attended Sacred Heart grade school and graduated from Mater Dei High School Class of 1956. He served four years in the United States Air Force and retired from Alcoa after 39 years of service as a Maintenance Supervisor. He was a member of Corpus Christi Church, American Legion Post #0008, and River Bend Association. Don was known for being one sharply dressed man. He was energetic and loved going to the gym and lifting weights. He was the biggest cheerleader at his daughters’ Mater Dei volleyball games, always leading the crowd with a good ole “2 bits, 4 bits.” He enjoyed riding his Harley, taking golf cart rides around the neighborhood with his wife and their dog, Lou Lou, and watching NFL football games. He was his grandkids’ biggest fan at all their sporting events. He enjoyed life to its fullest and loved spending time with his family. He will forever be in our hearts and on our minds. He will never be forgotten. We love you to pieces. He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Paula (Winstead) Haller, and his children, Mike Haller, Andrea Hibbard, Lacy Bender (Jeff), Rhonda Hughart, and Connie Rayburn; his grandchildren Phoenix Hibbard, Zoe Hibbard, Cora Bender, Avery Bender, Lee Haller, Breanna Haller (Richard), Amy Tobey (Keith), Brad Hughart, John Rayburn (Casey), Megan Wesley (Brian), and Claire Elder (Matt); his 12 great-grandchildren; his brother Rick Haller (Lisa); his mother-in-law, Bessie Winstead, brother-in-law, Tony Winstead (Debbie) and brother-in-law, Gil Wildt. He is predeceased by his parents, Leo and Marge Haller, sister Suzie Wildt (Gil), Aunt Dorothy Schettler and by his father-in-law, Chet Winstead. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in Peace. Amen. A Memorial Visitation will be held Tuesday, August 23rd at Pierre Funeral Home from 3:00 until 7:00 PM. There will be a Mass of Christian Burial held at Corpus Christi Church at 11:00 AM on Wednesday, August 24th with a showing before at 10am. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery, where the Vanderburgh County Retired Veterans Memorial Club will conduct military rites. The family would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the staff at West River Health Campus for their wonderful care of Don. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
