Hedy Baumer

April 24, 1924 - November 9, 2016

Hedy Baumer-Gfeller was born on April 24, 1924 in Germany, to a German mother and a Swiss father. When she was seven years old her parents and four sisters moved to Switzerland. Hedy married Niklaus Baumer on September 17th 1943. Together they had one daughter Ursula Jimison-Baumer. In 1957 they boarded the Queen Mary for the United States, leaving behind their families for a fresh start. Through a lot of hard work Hedy and her family built a wonderful life together. With her husband they bought and sold many properties and Hedy even owned her own store in Bishop, CA. Hedy had one granddaughter Tanya, who spent all of her summer and winter vacations with her grandparents well into her teenage years. Nick and Hedy were the best grandparents and Tanya holds dear to her heart the wonderful memories that they made together. After Nick’s death, Hedy was fortunate to meet her companion Eugene Cordova, with whom she spent her remaining years travelling and enjoying life with. At 92 years old Hedy lived a long life, but it does not make the pain of losing her any easier for her family. Our only condolence, is knowing Nick was waiting for her at Heaven’s Gates with open arms, and they are now together once again.
