Yes, it is possible if you will it to be. Happiness is a choice, it is not something that you have to chase and look for in your life. There are people who prefer to live a single life and happy for they choose that kind of life and they are contented and at peace with it. I've known a few who spend their lifetime alone happily and at the same time they were able to share their time, talents to others too. They call it "single-blessedness."
But if you mean being alone, without any contact to anyone, I think that is a different story. It is our human nature
to interact with others. Without this it would be hard. As the saying goes, "No man is an island." We can still spend a lifetime without any partner in life but it would be impossible to be happy without any social interaction with other human being.

I agree with the thought already given that not having a spouse is quite possible in a happy life, but that not interacting with other people at all would not be a positive life experience.
Yes, there are hermits who never are social, but that does not mean it is a healthy situation.
It is much more important to get out in the world and mingle with as many people as possible, not only to give you a social life that will bring up your spirits, but also to learn about how other people live and work and enjoy their lives.
Having internet and snail mail friends also solves this issue because you are also broadening your horizons in the same way as in person. There is as much interaction in a friend's life as there is with a personal visit or phone call if you each spend the time to share activities, thoughts, goals, successes, etc.
