Janet Angeline Bachmann, aged 82, died peacefully at home surrounded by family on
September 19, 2025. She was born on April 8, 1943, to Herman and Grace Braun of Zell,
Missouri. She married the boy next door, Kenneth (Ken) A. Bauman on June 23, 1962. They were
married for 12 years (deceased July 2, 1974) and she bore 5 children: Cheryl (husband Larry)
Glascott, Janelle (husband Mitch) Bivona, Dale Bauman (deceased 05.04.72), Keith (wife Angela)
Bauman, and Kirk (wife Debbie) Bauman. Janet married Gerry (Gerald) Bachmann on
September 24, 1979, and her family grew with his children, Troy (wife Rose) Bachmann, Deanna
(husband Joe) Loucks, and Tiffany (husband Todd) Fowler.
Janet loved and cherished her husband, and all of her kids, including 15 grandchildren and 10
great grandchildren. She was a faithful parishioner at Most Sacred Heart Catholic Church and
was very dedicated to her Catholic faith. She loved to read, listen to music, dance, play cards,
games, including bunco, and Mahjong. She was the best cheerleader for her children and
became an avid WNBA Indiana Fever fan. Janet and Gerry lived a full life – camping, attending
car club activities, riding their Harley trike and driving their Mustang convertible. She loved her
time with her garden club, known as the Ladybugs, and exercising at the YMCA with her silver
sneaker friends. Her homemade dumplings were a family favorite. Janet will always be
remembered for her fun-loving spirit, strong faith, and her devotion to family and friends.
She was preceded in death by:
Parents, Herman and Grace (Schwent) Braun and siblings, Robert J. Braun, Francis (Tony) Braun,
Mary E. (Braun) Whinery, and Norman Braun.
