Her pastimes included baking and tending to her beautiful flower gardens until she was no longer able.
When she suffered a stroke in 2001, she showed tremendous resilience as she learned how to walk, talk, and live independently once again.
Phyllis lived in Owyhee Heights up until Bob's sudden death in 2004, when she moved to Homedale. She enjoyed the friendships she made while living at the senior apartments there. Her apartment was easy to identify, with its many colorful garden flags and yard decorations. Shortly before her death, it became necessary to move to Autumn Winds Assisted Living in Caldwell, where she appreciated the kindness of her caregivers.
The family also wants to thank the caregivers from Four Winds Hospice.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Charles and Edith Miller, brothers Max and Marvin, husband Robert Bauer and great-grandson, David G. VanWassenhove. She is survived by her sons Larry (Becky) and Mark (Beverly) of Homedale, daughter Sharon (David) VanWassenhove of Marsing, grandchildren Eric Bauer, Dustin (Emily) Bauer, April (Jason) Binford, Marcy (Chris) Hibbs, Steven Bauer, Nate (Stacy) VanWassenhove, Megan (Jake) Astorquia, and Amy VanWassenhove.
In addition, she will be missed by eight great-grandchildren, and four new arrivals that are due within the next several months.
A memorial service will be held Oct. 8, 2009, at 11 a.m. at Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church, 621 W. Idaho, Homedale.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Homedale Senior Center, P.O. Box 848, Homedale, ID 83628.
