Priscilla Mary Bauman

Priscilla was a loving wife, devoted mother, proud nana, caring sister, treasured aunt and precious friend. Born in Russia, OH to Henry and Josephine Voisard, she was one of seven children. Priscilla married Richard William Bauman on June 29, 1940 in Dayton and began their family of three boys, Richard, William and Thomas. In 1956, the family moved to Rockville Centre, New York when Richard opened a New York City office for the Dayton Rubber Co. In the mid-nineties, after forty years in New York, they returned to the Dayton area to retire. Richard passed away in January 2000. Priscilla was a lifelong community volunteer. A prized possession was a gold medallion she received from Mercy Hospital on Long island, recognizing the 10,000 hours of volunteer service she performed. In her younger years, she was an avid golfer. Some of her happiest hours were spent in her award winning flower gardens. In Dayton, Priscilla was a member of St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church and the NAIM Widow and Widowers group. She was a passionate lifelong bridge player. Everywhere she lived, Priscilla was known for her hospitality. She just loved to give parties, dress to the nines, maker her own flower arrangements, and entertain a house full of friends. She was a 'people person' who made friends wherever she went. Preceded in death by her husband, Richard; brothers, Hubert and Venitious Voisard; sisters, Margaret Pour, Louise Saul and Monetta Glotfelter. Survived by sister, Sylvia Grillot; sons, Richard (Maria), William and Thomas; grandchildren, Christine Burns, Shannon Haddaway (Jason), Brendan and Bridget Bauman; great grandchildren, Hannah, Maria, Grace, Riley and Dylan.
