Dwayne Haines Obituary
Dwayne was a 1964 graduate of Lock Haven High School. He retired from Lock Haven University as a Building Maintenance Supervisor after 39 years of service.
Dwayne lived a life grounded on faith in God and love for his family. On May 11, 1968, he married the love of his life, Darla (Confer) Haines, who survives at home after sharing 57 years of marriage together. Above all else, he cherished his family. He was a steady presence, a source of guidance and a man whose love shown through his actions and words.
Dwayne was happiest outdoors-hunting out at Kato, fishing at Curtain or mowing his lawn. He took great pride in a well-kept yard, a clean vehicle, the ability to fix just about anything and the feeling of hard work done right.
Dwayne was a member of God's Eternal Life Church in Lock Haven. A devoted Christian who loved the Lord and spent his life leading by example, his family rejoices in assurance that Dwayne is now in heaven with Jesus. He played an active role in Howard Lions Club throughout the years. When he wasn't outside, he enjoyed watching Gunsmoke and game shows, especially Family Feud.

Also surviving is his brother, Barry Haines (Sheila) and numerous nieces and nephews.
Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by a brother, Ronald Haines.
