Hause, Mary Constance (Connie) 7/23/1923 - 12/4/2016 Galesburg Mary C. (Connie) Hause died peacefully at home on December 4, 2016 after a long and full life. She was born on July 23, 1923 in Akron, OH to John Victor and Mary Stewart Ohlson. She grew up in Cuyahoga Falls, OH and in 1948 married the love of her life, Robert (Bob) Hause. They raised their three children in the Town of Tonawanda, NY. Connie was a homemaker, and was also active throughout her life in a variety of volunteer and social activities. She and Bob enjoyed entertaining friends from church, the LaSalle Yacht Club, the Buffalo Curling Club and other organizations at their lovely Grand Island home on the Niagara River. When Bob retired, they moved to Harbor Isles in North Port, FL where they enjoyed a vibrant and active life and made many friends. They spent their summer months at their cottage on Pleasant Lake in Delton, MI. After Bob passed away in December 2009, Connie eventually made the move to Michigan to live with her daughter and son-in-law. Over the past seven years she made some wonderful friends in Michigan. Neighbors Sandy and Craig Fuller were like family, and included Connie in their weekly trips to the casino as well as Friday morning breakfasts with the Post Office retirees. Michelle Bouma was Connie's companion on Thursday afternoons, and together they went for rides and out to local restaurants and stores. These friendships meant the world to Connie. She felt especially fortunate to live near her two great-granddaughters: Aven and Eily McCauliff. Connie is survived by her son, Robert (Rosario) Hause Jr. of Bountiful, UT; daughter Patricia (Philip) Burton of Galesburg MI; grandson Eric (Dr. Sarah Sung) Burton, Santa Monica CA; granddaughter Dr. Leslie (Sonny) McCauliff, Kalamazoo MI; grandson Artem Hause, Palm Harbor FL, grandson Luciano (Hellen) Borinato, Campina Grande, Brazil, granddaughter Estela Borinato, Recife, Brazil, and great-granddaughter Ana Julia, Campina Grande, Brazil. She was preceded in death by her husband Bob Hause and by their son, Dr. Thomas S. Hause. Connie's family is very thankful for the wonderful care provided by SouthernCare Hospice over the last year of her life. Per her wishes cremation has taken place (Betzler Funeral Home). Family and friends will gather for a celebration of Connie's life in early summer 2017
