Paula M. (Hempfling) Bauer

Paula M. (Hempfling) Bauer, 70, of Butler went to be with Jesus on Saturday, December 30, 2023. She was born in Butler on July 7, 1953 to the late Paul and Dorothy (Hutchison) Hempfling. No one loved life and her family like she did. Paula loved to garden, help as many people as she could and talked to as many as possible about the Salvation of Jesus; like on her missionary trip to Romania. Paula loved her family so much and put their needs in front of her own. She was so proud of her son and her smile lit up the room when she talked about her grandchildren, whom she loved more than her own life. She was the best sister in the world and the glue to her siblings. She was best known as Aunt Paula, aka 2nd mom, to her many nieces and nephews; and Miss Paula to all the children she taught at North Street Christian Church. Paula was the beloved mother of Tim Bauer; sister of Richard, Edward, Rob (Sandy) Hempfling, Darlene (Calvin) McClymonds, and Becky (Wayne) Harris; and grandmother of Alex, Sophia and Griffin Bauer. She is also survived by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and her dog Milo. Along with her parents, she was preceded in death by her dog Robo. Family and friends will be received on Friday, January 5, 2024 from 5-7pm at the SPENCER D. GEIBEL FUNERAL HOME & CREMATION SERVICES, 140 NEW CASTLE RD. BUTLER, PA 16001. WWW.SPENCERDGEIBEL.COM. Services will immediately follow in the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Paula’s name, to the North Street Christian Church for their Missionary Department.
