Bauer 94, will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday, Jan e, 2002 at

Madaleine was born in Sycamore Ohio Aug. 28, 1907, to Frank 
and Helena Reilly Wensinger and died Saturday Dec. 22, 2001

	  Following her graduation from Ashland College in 
Ashland, Ohio, she began a career in social work as director 
of girls activities at a settlement house in Cleveland, Ohio.
There she met George Bauer, who directed the boys activities 
and they married in Ashland on Sept. 16, 1929.  Madaleine and 
George had two daughters.  Cynthia and Susan.  When their 
daughters were in high school Madaleine returned to the social 
work field.  Over the years, she directed Girl Scout programs, 
Red Cross blood drives, and youth clubs, and she was a dedicated 
hospital volunteer in many communities where they lived.  
After George and Madaleine retired, they moved to Niles, Mich. 
where their daughter Cynthia lived.  When George became ill 
Madaleine spent most of her time caring for her husband.  Following 
the deaths of her husband and daughter, Cynthia, Madaleine moved 
to Tahlequah to be near her daughter Sue.
	Madaleine was preceded in death by her husband, one daughter, 
her parents, three brothers and one sister.  
She is survived by her daughter Sue Agnew and husband Brad of Tahlequah; 
five 
granddaughters, Sue Frey of Niles, Mich., Karen Frey of  Novi, Mich., 
Sara Frey Frost of Niles, Mich., Sandra Frey of Pawtucket, R.I., and
