Dec. 15, 1936 — Aug. 13 2019

Judith Claire Bauer, 82, of Niles, died at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2019, with family gathered around her bedside at her home following a challenging illness.

She was born on Dec. 15, 1936, in Niles, to Oscar and Clara (Fetke) Timm. She graduated from Niles High School and was employed in the offices of the National-Standard Corporation for many years. As staffing was reduced at N-S, she moved to the office at Niles High School, and later to the office at Cedar Lane School. Students approached her years later remembering her encouragement and support. She was a lifelong resident of Niles.

Judith was a member of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception Parish in Niles and a member of the Beta Sigma Phi sorority and particularly enjoyed the fellowship of both groups. She also enjoyed the fellowship — and the competitive enthusiasm, and the intellectual acuity expected — of her bridge club. She was a great fan and supporter of all activities of the Niles Community Schools.

Whichever event that Judith was attending, she was perfectly attired and accessorized, but most importantly with a great smile and sparkle in her eye, ready to encourage all around her.

On June 23, 1962, at Saint Mary Catholic Church in Niles, she married Monte E. Bauer with whom she shared the 38th anniversary of their wedding prior to his death on Sept. 18, 2000.

Surviving family includes their children, Janell Bauer, of Niles, and Blake (& Cheryl) Bauer, of Buchanan; granddaughters, Sydney, Jordan and Hayden; and Judith’s sister, Georgiana Miars, of Niles, and several nieces and nephews.

The Memorial Mass for Judith Bauer will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 23, 2019, at Saint Mary Catholic Church, 207 S. Lincoln Ave., Niles, by the Rev. Christian Johnston assisted by Deacon Roger Gregorski. Committal Rites will follow at the graveside in Silverbrook Cemetery in Niles.

The family will receive relatives and friends on Friday at the church, beginning at 10 a.m. Arrangements were made at the Halbritter-Wickens Funeral Home, 615 E. Main St., Niles. Contributions in memory of Judith may be made to the Alzheimer’s Association, 225 N. Michigan Avenue, Floor 17, Chicago, IL, 60601; alz.org. Online condolences may be left at: halbritterwickens.com.

Niles Daily Star, Published 8:45 am Monday, April 22, 2019

Lucille V. Malone, 97, of Niles, passed away on Wednesday, April 17, 2019, following extended health problems.

Lucille was born on Feb. 3, 1922, in Green Springs, Ohio, to Chancy and Vida Ann (Crumb) Blodgett. In 1941, she moved to Niles to marry the love of her life, Stayton Leo Malone, who preceded her in death in 1995 after celebrating 54 years of marriage.

Lucille Malone

They had three sons, Patrick D. (Judi) Malone of Niles, Michael D. (Diana) Malone of Edwardsburg and Daniel R. (Joan) Malone of Big Rapids, Michigan. She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband.

Lucille was a congenial host, she had a great sense of humor and a great love for her family. She worked at Simplicity Pattern Company for many years where she forged many new friendships, conjured up potions and creased a bunch of paper. She loved to watch birds, fish for fish, hunt for morel mushrooms, eat tacos (not the “uncooked” soft shell ones though!) and she baked an awesome strawberry rhubarb pie. She will be sorely missed by her family and friends who will always remember her for her love of life and her strength of will to do it “her way.”

In accordance with Lucille’s wishes she will be cremated and private family services may be held at a later date. Her final resting place will be at Silver Brook Cemetery in Niles. Stemm-Lawson-Peterson Funeral Home is entrusted with her arrangements. Memorial donations in memory of Lucille be made to Caring Circle, Lakeland Health Affiliate, 4025 Health Park Lane, St. Joseph, MI 49085.
