Ann E. LaHaie

Ann E. LaHaie, 79, of Green Bay, passed away peacefully on Sunday, November 8, 2026, surrounded by the love of her family.

Ann was born on October 24, 1947, in Marquette, Michigan, to the late Arnold and Doris (Fennenssy) Mulzer. On August 17, 1974, she married the love of her life, David LaHaie. After earning her teaching degree from Northern Michigan University, Ann and Dave made their way to the Green Bay area, where they began their teaching careers together. Ann went on to teach in the Howard-Suamico School District, where she had a special passion for teaching and cherished her years spent educating and inspiring her elementary school students.

Once settled in Green Bay, Ann and Dave welcomed their daughter, Alexis, and began building a life filled with love, family, and adventure. Together, they created wonderful memories, spending time traveling and exploring new places, giving their daughter a childhood filled with special experiences and a lifetime of treasured memories. Their love of travel continued throughout the years, taking many trips with family and friends. Ann and Dave also enjoyed their time as snowbirds, escaping Wisconsin winters for the warmer sunshine of Florida.

When she wasn’t traveling, Ann could often be found shopping, scrapbooking, making handmade cards, or painting beautiful watercolor creations. She enjoyed gathering with her breakfast club friends and could always be counted on to have a good book nearby. Ann also earned a special reputation among family and friends as the “Laundry Queen.” Whether it was keeping things fresh, folded, or perfectly in order, she took her laundry duties seriously! It was one of those little things that made her uniquely Ann and will surely bring a smile to the faces of those who knew her.

Above all else, Ann’s greatest joy and happiness in life were her daughter and grandchildren. They meant the world to her, and she treasured the time she spent with them. Her love for them was immeasurable, and the memories they created together will forever hold a special place in their hearts.

Those left to cherish her memory include her loving husband, David; her daughter, Alexis (Bryan) Anderson; and her three beloved grandchildren, Maxwell, Alison, and Aubree. She is also survived by her sister, Marilyn (Jan) Robberts; many brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law; along with numerous nieces, nephews, other relatives, and dear friends, especially Bridget Austin.

Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her husband’s parents, John and Edra LaHaie; her brothers-in-law, Jack LaHaie, Rick Mathys, and John Vesseau; and her sister-in-law, Joan Pinney. She is also being welcomed in heaven by two dear friends who went before her, Colette Kolstad and Gary Austin.

During the last couple of years, Ann and her family faced some difficult times. Through it all, the love of her family remained at the center of her life.

Family and friends are invited to gather on Tuesday, November 24, 2026, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 2771 Oakwood Drive, Green Bay, WI 54304, beginning at 9:00 a.m. until the Mass of Christian Burial at 11:00 a.m., with Fr. Don Everts officiating. Following Mass, family and friends are invited to continue gathering for a luncheon and celebration of Ann’s life at Village Grille Event Center, 1390 Bellevue Street, Green Bay, WI 54311.
