She was born February 7, 1931, in Lawrenceburg, IN, daughter of the late Henry A. and Clara Ida (Zeigler) Armbruster.
Agnes attended St. Mary’s Catholic Elementary School and graduated in the class of 1949 from Aurora High School. She worked at Teaney’s Grocery Store for many years either full time or part time in the produce department. She was a lifetime member of St. Mary’s Catholic Church and she was a very faithful member.
Agnes married Leonard Calvin Bauer on January 31, 1953 at St. Mary’s Church and they purchased a farm in Moores Hill where they worked together raising beef cattle. Agnes enjoyed the outdoors, collecting and refinishing antique furniture, yard sales, reading, cooking, and meeting friends and cousins for lunch, playing cards, and working puzzles, and shopping. After her husband passed in October 2017 and until February 2023 she was still driving friends and relatives to appointments. After she quit driving, she was always ready to take a ride around the block, around town, or the countryside. Agnes was a hard worker and was very independent. Her faith and her family were very important to her.
