Bauer, Patricia F. (Pat) age 92, of Anoka, passed away March 28, 2016 in Sartell, MN. Pat was born on July 3, 1923 to Artie and Florence Ward in Anoka, MN where she grew up, met and married her high-school sweetheart, Arnold Bauer in 1942. They raised 10 children together and there was never a dull moment in their lives. Pat was very proud of her Irish heritage and had a great sense of humor and a sparkle in her eyes to go along with it. She loved to draw and was a lady of many talents. After raising her family, her artistic talents were the basis of a successful craft business she shared with her husband for many years. Pat enjoyed working her daily crossword puzzles with a cup of tea and loved feeding the birds and watching the wildlife on their property near the river in Onamia, MN. It was also the site of many family gatherings and happy memories. You never left her home with an empty stomach. She was a beautiful lady in all ways and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. With heavy hearts we say goodbye. Pat is survived by her 10 children, Mary Rose, Ruth (Dan) Davis, Sue (Rick) Sivula, Arnie Bauer, Theresa (Gary) Hauan, Mike Bauer, Cathy (Dick) Hoheisel, Jeff (Kathy) Bauer, Donna Havemeier, Barb (Mark) Fritz; her 30 grandchildren, 51 great-grandchil-dren, and 7 great-great-grand-children. She was preceded in death by her husband, Arnold and sister, Donna Saipos. A graveside service will be held Friday, April 8, 2016 at 11:30 AM at Calvary Cemetery in Anoka. In lieu of flowers, memorials preferred. Thurston-Lindberg Funeral Home Anoka 763-421-0220 thurston-lindberg.com
