Betty Joyce Richardson Bauerle, 78 years old of Springfield, Louisiana, passed away on Friday, November 10, 2017, under the care of Louisiana Hospice. She was born on Sunday, October 29, 1939 in Springfield, Louisiana where she grew up picking strawberries on her family's small farm.

Betty was married for sixty years to the love of her life, Edward Bauerle. She graduated valedictorian of her 1957 high school class and was voted most popular and most likely to succeed. She would continue to be popular among her family and friends throughout her life. She succeeded in life, living it to the fullest. She had various jobs while raising her children. Her last job was as a teachers' aide for the Livingston Parish School System, where she worked with special needs classes for ten years.

She had many talents. She could play the guitar, sew, crochet, and knit. She also enjoyed gardening and was a talented artist. She played the piano for her church, Blood River Church of God, throughout her life and painted a large mural of mountains and a river that hangs behind the church baptistery. In her early years, she coached a baseball team and was involved in a garden group, church group, pokeno group and an art group. She loved to travel with her husband, having tea with her four sisters, Irene Kennedy, Ophelia Fray, Bea Simon, and Lorraine Lard, and spending time with her family and friends, especially her best friend of forty years, Jean Guidry. She was a bright light in this world and will be greatly missed.
