Obituary of Valerie Marie Bauer

Valerie Bauer

January 12, 1955 – December 31, 2025

Valerie Bauer passed away peacefully on December 31, 2025, at the age of 70. She was born on January 12, 1955, and lived a life defined by love, compassion, and devotion to her family and those in her care.

Valerie was predeceased by her parents, her sisters, and her beloved son, Jason. She carried their memories with her always and now joins them in rest.

She leaves behind her devoted husband of 50 years, David, whose life was deeply intertwined with hers in love, partnership, and shared strength. Valerie was a proud and loving mother to her sons Robbie and Stephen, and a cherished mother-in-law to Candy Bauer.

Her greatest joy was her family. Valerie was a deeply loving grandmother to Jordon, Nevada (Jordan), Madison (Brycen), Tyson (Madi), Ashton (Zoe), Robyn, and Apryl, and a proud great-grandmother to Jace, Daxton, Emma, and Everett. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who were touched by her kindness and warmth.

Professionally, Valerie worked as a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), a role that reflected who she was at her core — a caring, compassionate person who always put others first. Her gentle nature, patience, and empathy touched countless lives, both in her work and in her everyday interactions.

Valerie had a special love for animals and a heart that extended kindness wherever it was needed. She will be remembered for her warmth, her quiet strength, her nurturing spirit, and the way she made people feel safe, cared for, and truly loved.
