Thomas Hauger 

Tom went to heaven on July 2, 2024 shortly after a cancer diagnosis. The son of C. William and Trudy (Kemerer) Hauger, he was born on January 10, 1954 in Greensburg, PA. In addition to his parents he was preceded in death by his brother Scott William Hauger. 

Tom believed that God and family were the most important things in life, and his everyday actions reflected these beliefs. He was a kind and nurturing soul who poured patience, love and wisdom into his family, especially his 7 grandchildren, who lovingly called him “Pappy.” 

Tom leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Kristen Fisher Hauger of 47 years…

Overall, he lived simply enjoying household work, road trips, cutting grass and other outdoor tasks. Tom retired from Greater Latrobe School District where he worked as a truck driver in the Food Service Department. He also worked many other jobs, including being custodian at Charter Oak Church, mowing Fairmont Cemetery in Stahlstown, PA where he also served as president for the cemetery board.
