Lore Bauer
1936-2020
BAUER, Lore – (nee) Hildenbrand, passed away peacefully in her sleep
at home in Guelph on Sunday, September 6, 2020.
A beloved mother and grandmother, Lore was born in Gingen an der Fils,
Germany in 1936. She immigrated to Canada in 1960, and was proud to
have arrived in Canada on July 1st our national holiday. Lore embodied
the typical immigrant experience of that era by arriving in Canada
with a few clothes, a grade-school education, and a dream for a better
life. She married Joseph Bauer in 1962 and they settled in Cambridge,
Ontario. Lore and Joe started a company making metal products, and
Lore played many roles to make the small family business a success
including working long hours on the machines, all office functions
such as receptionist and bookkeeper, as well as managing finances and
suppliers. She juggled this with her second full-time job of being a
caring, supportive mom to her two children. She was known for her lush
vegetable garden, delicious traditional German home cooking such as
Spaetzle and leg of lamb, and her love of her crossword puzzles.
She is survived by her loving husband of 58 years Joseph; children
Sabina and John; and grandchildren C.J., Jacob, Kate and Max. She
leaves behind her sister Wera and husband Ken, nephew Tim and his
family, and many relatives in Germany.
The family would like to give special thanks to Dr. Spadafora, Tish,
Shannon, and Doris B.
At Lore’s request, cremation has taken place and a private
family service and internment will take place at Parklawn Cemetery,
750 Fountain Street, Cambridge on Friday, September 18, 2020 at 1pm.
Arrangements entrusted to Corbett Funeral Home, Cambridge, ON
(519)-740-0669.
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Lore Bauer 19362020..
