Helen M. Bauer, 99, of Hanover, entered into God’s eternal care on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 at Hanover Hospital.
Born Monday, April 26, 1915 in Shenandoah, PA, she was a daughter of the late Alexander and Mary Shustack Stancofsky. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 60 years, William A. Bauer; a son, William Bauer; and sisters, Sara, Alice and Stella.
Mrs. Bauer worked as a dental hygienist for 11 years, and as a sales lady in the Hanover General Hospital for 24 years. After retiring from that position, she continued to volunteer at the hospital until the age of 93. Helen was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, and was a former member of the Hanover Lioness Club, the YWCA Wives, and the Elks Lodge BPOE #763 Ladies Auxiliary. She loved playing bridge, was an avid reader and enjoyed travel with family and friends. Helen was adventurous, had a wonderful sense of humor, was certainly opinionated but always knew that family and friends were the real treasures in life and loved them unconditionally.
Survivors include a son, Lawrence A. Bauer and his wife, Marie; and a daughter, Maryellen Eisenberg and her husband, Harvey. She loved and spoiled her seven grandchildren, 13 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Her family will miss her more than words can say.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 2 pm Saturday, October 18, 2014 at St. Joseph Catholic Church celebrated by The Rev. Stephen Kelley. The family will receive friends from 1 to 2 pm at the church. Burial will be in St. Stanislaus Cemetery in Shenandoah.
