Stella Bauman

On October 15,2022 Stella G. Bauman, 95 of Quakertown was welcomed into the arms of Jesus at Independence Court Quakertown. She was the widow of Clair S. Bauman. Born in Lehigh County. She was the daughter of the late Solomon and Lillian (Geissinger) Kratz. Stella worked as a meat packer for Cassel's Food Market and later for Landes Meat Company before retiring.

Stella was a loving mother, grandmother, great grandmother and great-great grandmother. She lived a life of service to her family and community. She was always ready with a warm meal, a seemingly endless supply of cookies, and an easy smile. Stella loved it when people came to visit. She was a Sunday school teacher and also quilted with the sewing circle at Salem Mennonite Church, where she was a member. Stella loved to sing and was a member of the Zion Choral Society. She liked to play card games and would quietly win when you least expected it. She enjoyed embroidery and doing puzzles. She was a big Phillies fan and was delighted to be able to dance with the Phanatic at a grandsons wedding at the age of 91 (even though Mennonites don't dance).
