Sister Leonore Bauer, formerly Dolorosa Venantia Bauer, died on May 12, 2007. Sister is survived by her siblings: Mary, Dorothy, Charles, William, and Edward and nieces and nephews to the second generation. In addition to her family, she is mourned by many friends, former students, and members of the Sisters of St. Joseph.

Sister Leonore was the seventh of eight children born to Joseph and Mary (McCool) Bauer. Along with her parents, she is predeceased by her brothers, Joseph and Paul.

Sister entered the Sisters of St. Joseph on September 12, 1947 and died in the 60th year of her religious life. Sister earned a degree in Elementary Education from Chestnut Hill College and spent all her life ministering to God's little ones. Her presence and ministry enriched the dioceses of Allentown, Harrisburg, Newark, and Philadelphia.

Sister Leonore loved her ministry with little children. She enjoyed their simplicity, their questions, and their sharings. "These children", she said, "energize and confirm for me God's great love for them, for myself, and for all of us." Sister worked to help children balance their individual needs with the common good of all their classmates. This was the balance that Sister herself lived in many ways. Simplicity, faithfulness, dedication, and kindness shaped Sister Leonore's life and nurtured and sustained all her relationships.

During the funeral Mass celebrated at St. Joseph Villa, Sister Ethelyn Tucker, C.P.S. quoted from St. Mark's gospel. "Let the little children come to me; do not stop them for it is to such as these that the Reign of God belongs." Sister Leonore spent her life welcoming children in Jesus' name. Now may she truly experience God's touch and embrace as she is welcomed into God's presence by all who have gone before her.
