She began her teaching career in Shelby County in 1941, where she taught until 1947.

In total her teaching career spanned thirty-seven and a half years.

I have so many fond memories of her while I was growing up in Griderville and she was always kind to me. She was a true lady in every sense of the word and a blessing to so many. I am so sorry for the loss I know her family is feeling and I send my best wishes and sympathy to all of you. May God comfort you in the void her passing leaves and wrap you in His love. I pray for peace to fill all your hearts. Lewis, thank you for your many kindnesses too and God bless you in Jesus’ Name. Phyllis Ann Western Hunt.
Prayers for peace and comfort during this difficult time to Mrs. Bauer family. She was a sweet lady for cared deeply for all her school children.
I didn’t have mrs Bauer in first grade but my sisters did and I used to hear them talk about her and if there ever was a good teacher and a good person she was. I kinda grew up with them all a remember Scott and was his classmate until his passing and never forget that. Lewis I’m praying for comfort with your moms passing, was talking today about how time passes so fast and my parents passing and how much you miss them when they’re gone. We’ll meet them again someday is a comfort, and God bless the family.
Prayers of peace and comfort to Lewis and his family. Love you alll
Loved and respected since 1960 (1st grade.)
So sorry to read this. Mrs Bauer was much loved by the Barlows and was one of our best and dearest primary school teachers. She taught first grade for Gini Lin in 1980-81 and me 1981-82. God bless you, Mrs. Bauer, and make His face to shine upon you!
Lewis, I am so sorry to hear about the passing of your Mother. I just heard this today (Sunday). I will be thinking of you and your family in the days ahead.
