1997 - 2021

Caity Iona Haughey, 24, of Pataskala, passed away on December 30, 2021. She was born in Columbus, Ohio on June 16, 1997 to Chris Haughey and Diana Heischman. Caity was preceded in death by her grandfather James Edward Courts and her uncle Jeffrey Rittenhouse. Caity will be remembered as a free spirit with an infectious smile. In high school, Caity demonstrated a multitude of talents in the marching band, swim team, track team, and orchestra. Her love of horses began when Caity was a teenager and developed into a career as a horse groomer; she even tamed a wild horse that no one else could train! Caity loved candy, milkshakes, coloring, and music (especially the Grateful Dead and the Rolling Stones). She brought light and joy to all who knew her, and never passed judgment on others. Caity will be greatly missed by her son, Stone Hawk; mother, Diana Heischman; father, Chris Haughey; brothers, Jordan Haughey and Connor Haughey; grandparents, Michael (Diana) Heischman and Tom (Betty) Haughey; Cheriolyn Mccloud Courts; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
