Obituary for Joy Bauman
Bauman, Joy (Meier, Huehn):
Her Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ came to Sunnyside Home on Joy's 90th birthday (October 8th), picked her up and carried her home to eternity in Heaven.
After spending her childhood in New Hamburg, she moved to Waterloo with her parents, Herb and Irene Huehn (both deceased) and her brother Douglas (deceased 2019) (Dolly) Huehn. At the young age of 19, she married the love of her life, Allan Meier (deceased 1982). Together they raised two children; teaching them to love Jesus, love and respect others, be kind to everyone, to always do your best and to make the most of the time we have.
After Allan's death, Joy was called upon to help out a kind widower from the church. One thing lead to another and in 1984 Joy and Clarence Bauman (deceased 2010) were married. They built a wonderful life together travelling, spending time together at LutheRanch and playing or listening to music.
Joy was always giving of her self, her time and her resources. Whether she was sharing the bounty of her garden, tying knots to make blankets for missions, serving breakfasts to children so they wouldn't go to school hungry, supporting her church or offering an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on…she always made time for those who needed her.
The greatest joy in Joy's life was her family. She brought light, love and laughter into every gathering. None of the family ever left her without a hug and an “I love you”. Her children, Douglas (Nancy) Meier and Christine (Jon - deceased 2017) Janelle have been so blessed to have had such a wonderful, loving, caring mom. Her grandchildren Gavin Meier, Judi (Justin) Armitage, Christopher (Michelle) Meier, Jessa (Mike) Cobean, Jonathon Janelle (Michelle Palmer) and Laura (Jesse) Ferreira will all carry great memories of fun times with Grandma. Joy will also be lovingly remembered by her 13 great grandchildren Alani and Farrah Meier; Owen, Olivia and Emma Armitage; Lincoln and Morgan Meier; Evy, Colton, Cora and Jesse Cobean; Mila and Leo Ferreira.
