Huron comes together to remember Evelyn Bauer

HURON – Members of the Huron community came together in the cold temperatures and rain to remember six-year-old Evelyn Bauer, who passed away unexpectedly on Sunday.

Multiple people who knew Evelyn spoke at the candlelight vigil, which was held at the Huron Boat Basin.

Evelyn’s kindergarten teacher, Beth Krupp, said, “I’ve had a lot of wonderful kids in this town. I really have. I am so lucky. But Evelyn was just so very special. It’s been said a thousand times, just something about her smile just radiated kindness and just happiness.”

The vigil ended with the song “Amazing Grace.” During the song, many in attendance fought back tears to try to sing along.

After the vigil, members of the community came together to comfort Evelyn’s family, her friends, and each other.

The vigil was arranged by the Abbey Rose Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to aiding in the prevention of sudden infant death syndrome or SIDS and providing hope and comfort for families grieving the loss of a child. The Bauer family asks that any memorial contributions be made in Evelyn’s name to the foundation. More information about the Abbey Rose Foundation and how to donate can be found on their website.
