Arrilla Bauer, 106, of Saint Marys, died Sunday, July 28, 2019, at Otterbein Saint Marys retirement community.
She was born July 19, 1913, in Saint Marys, the daughter of Arthur and Mayme (Dowty) Heusch. She married Philip Edward Bauer on June 4, 1935, and he preceded her in death on September 18, 1983.
