Christa Haessler Obituary

Christa Helene Haessler (nee Rudolph), age 42 years, of West Allis, formerly of West Bend left this world too soon on June 10, 2024.

Christa was born on August 1, 1981, in Milwaukee, WI to Glenn and Elisabeth Rudolph (nee Gieske).

Christa graduated from West Bend East High School in 1999. She had various jobs over the years, primarily in the dental field, most recently as a Revenue Cycle Manager at DCA. Christa loved and cherished her son Cole Haessler and was so very proud of him. Her fiancé Warren was her true soulmate. She was also a pet-parent to her canine companion, Drax and feline companions, Treebeard and Wonkers.

Christa enjoyed the outdoors, especially camping, hiking, campfires in the backyard with friends/family and relaxing at beach.

Christa’s selfless act of becoming an organ and tissue donor brought new life to numerous people in need and their families. She will live on through them and will always be a superhero.

Those Christa leaves behind to cherish her memory include her son, Cole; her fiancé, Warren Smith; step-daughter, Camille Smith; parents, Glenn and Elisabeth Rudolph (nee Gieske); two sisters, Alyssia Rudolph and Amanda Rudolph (Jeffrey (Brandy) Sanders) ; two aunts, Donna (John) Hengstler and Marlene (John) DeKeyser; and two nieces, Ameilyah and Hayzel Cox.

She is further survived Cole’s father, Kristopher Haessler; as well as cousins Amie, Jacob and Steffan, as well as other relatives, and many many friends.

Christa was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Donald and Leona Rudolph (nee Surma); and maternal grandparents, Guenther and Helene Gieske (nee Fischl).
