Patricia Ann Bieger - Haussler

 

Patricia "Trisha" Ann (Bieger) Haussler was a loving daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. She left this world

peacefully with her niece, Shawna Bieger, by her side on November 7, 2023, at age 71, in Oklahoma City,

OK.

She was born to Joseph and Edna "Laverne" Bieger on December 15, 1951 in Baltimore, Maryland. She

moved to Oklahoma City at age 5 with her family. She spent most of her free time traveling the United

States with her mother and siblings. Trisha was a woman of many words and silly jokes. She enjoyed

making anyone around her feel welcome and leave smiling.

Trisha graduated from Capitol Hill High School in Oklahoma City, in 1970 with Honors. She excelled in

mathematics and lettered in girls' sports. She attended college at St. Gregory's College in Shawnee, OK

in 1972 with an Associate Degree in Math, Cum Laude, and lettered in women's varsity sports. She

continued her education at Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSO), Weatherford, OK in 1974

with a Bachelor of Science in Math, Summa Cum Laude, and lettered in women's varsity sports.

She used her love of mathematics to become a teacher from 1974 to 1980 in Kansas. She taught junior

high and high school math. During these years she also coached the pom squad, was assistant coach to

the girls' volleyball team, and was the official scorekeeper in boys' wrestling.

She returned to Oklahoma City in 1982 to attend OSU-OKC College for a certification in Computer

Programming, which she received in 1985. She worked for a couple of contractors before finding her

long-term career as a Computer Programmer of 14 years from 1996 to 2010 with a contractor at Tinker

AFB.

In 2011, she became disabled and spent her time growing as an individual and volunteering at the senior

complex where she lived until her passing. Trisha loved spending her time with her family, learning,

crafting, and helping others. You would rarely find her without a smile. If she was not learning or coloring

art pages, she was playing games. She was extremely active with her younger great-niece, Adalyn

Witten, and great-nephew, Christian Witten, she would read with them, help with their math homework,

discuss their recent sports plays, or tell them about her younger days!

She was such a warm soul to be around. Trisha gave hugs like a mother, kept secrets like a sister, and

shared love like a friend. She is joining her mother, grandparents, and those who preceded her in death

awaited her arrival, and have now been joyously reunited. We hope you know that you may be gone but

this is not a goodbye but a see you later and love you always.

Trisha is succeeded by her siblings: Joseph "Joe" Bieger and wife Patricia "Mike", of Bridgeport, Texas;

Tom Bieger and wife Vera, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; James "Jimmy" Bieger and wife Cleta, of

Norman, Oklahoma; and Earlene "Pinkie" Bieger and partner Michael Murray of Oklahoma City,

Oklahoma. She also left behind 9 nieces and nephews; and 13 great-nieces and great-nephews.
