Louise Barbara Domeier was born March 18, 1920, in Milford Township, Brown County, to Andrew and Anna (Bruckbauer) Domeier. She was united in marriage to George J. Bauer on June 10, 1941, at the Holy Trinity Catholic Church in New Ulm. Louise spent her life as a homemaker. She loved to garden, sew, bake, raise chinchillas and spend time with her grandchildren where she was known as the "silly" grandma. Her faith was important to her and she volunteered at many church activities. She loved to have big family get togethers. Even later in life, with Alzheimer's disease, she enjoyed life's simple pleasures. She was a great example of how to enjoy life and we were blessed to have the "best Mom." She was a member of the St. Mary's Catholic Church in New Ulm, Council of Catholic Women and the St. Margaret's Society.
In lieu of flowers, the family prefers memorials to the Oak Hills Living Center, St. Mary's Catholic Church, Alzheimer's Association, San Lucas Mission Toliman Mission or to the donor's choice.
