Eloise Bahr was born July 1, 1920 in Sabetha, Kansas and died July 15, 2015 in Livonia, Michigan at the age of 95. Her beloved husband of 63 years, Willard, entered his eternal rest in 2009.
Surviving Eloise are her two sons, Mark and his wife, Bev, of Farmington Hills, Michigan, and Phil and his wife, Dawn, of Livonia, Michigan; eight grandchildren and sixteen great grandchildren. Two daughters preceded her in death: Mary (1970), wife of Stephen Aberle of Sabetha, Kansas and Martha (2013), wife of Roger Belsley (2014). She is survived by three brothers and two sisters: Lester and Virgil Hartter, both of Sabetha, Kansas; Clyde Hartter of Frisco, Texas; Erma Priest of Raytown, Missouri; and Lavonne McGinty of Overland Park, Kansas. Two sisters preceded her in death: Marie Grimm (2007) and Helen Lobnitz (1992).
Eloise was a loving wife, mother and grandmother who set a Christ-like example of love, faith, grace and wisdom. At the age of 17, Eloise committed her life to the Lord, experienced repentance and a born again conversion, and was baptized as a member of the Apostolic Christian Church. She enjoyed serving her family, friends, church and the community with great devotion. She was a rock of spiritual stability and a nurturing hand to her family, always sensing what was needed before the individual needing her care could even express it.
Eloise and Willard owned and operated the family farm in Kansas for over 40 years before retiring from farming in 1987. She and Willard moved to the Woodhaven Retirement Community in Livonia, Michigan in 2005. Her life and impact is also captured in the memories of her children and grandchildren who enjoyed her devoted love and care while being mentored in life’s lessons about living for Christ, making wise decisions and getting along with others.
Her family, relatives and a host of friends cherish her legacy and will miss her dearly.
