Spent a lot of time with Thetis, the Turbetts and others as members of our prayer group, Peacemakers for the Harvest, usually held at the Turbetts home. Loved them all!

Love and peace to both of them. Willard was one of my Sunday School teachers and my mom, brothers and I sang with him in the Park Methodist choir. Your mom was a sweet and highly respected lady, Jay.

Thetis Hauber
Mar 1, 2007
Thetis Sheldon Hauber, 94, formerly of Coudersport, passed away February 13, 2007 at her home in Cypress Court, Mesa, Ariz., where she had lived near her daughter since 2004.
She was born January 7, 1913 in Miami, Fla. to A. Jay Sheldon and Thetis Petty Sheldon. She was married to F. Willard Hauber, who preceded her in death.
She graduated from high school in Willsboro, N.Y, and earned a bachelor of arts degree from the University of New Hampshire in 1935.
Thetis was a positive influence on many people as she was always ready to help anyone she met, greeting them with a smile and sincere wish to lend a helping hand. She was also known as an avid writer, spending many hours at her typewriter, punching out the Hauber's Jewelry Store Newsletter, Letters to the Editor at the Potter Enterprise and many other epistles.
She was a pioneer in many local volunteer organizations, including the Potter County Hospice, Friends of the Court, mentoring at-risk youth, and the Potter County Maple Festival parade.
She is survived by her
- daughter, Elise Lyon of Mesa, Ariz;,
- son Adrian Jay Pinsince of Milford, Conn.; and
- stepsons John Hauber of Rochester, N.Y. and David Hauber of Coudersport;
11 grandchildren and three great- grandchildren.
The family will hold a Celebration of her life in Coudersport on August 12, 2007.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Coudersport Volunteer Fire Department or Potter County Hospice.
