A life full of dedication: Farewell to Barbara Bayerl in Etzgersrieth

The unexpected news of Barbara Bayerl's death from Etzgersrieth has transferred the community to grief. At the age of 90 she died on July 12th, a loss that touches not only her family, but also numerous friends and acquaintances.

a life full of commitment and sense of community

Barbara Bayerl, which many lovingly called "Kanersn-Bettl", played an important role in the community in her life. As a member of the women's association in Etzgersrieth, she brought her commitment to numerous events and was honored by the second chairman Hildegard Balk as a valuable founding member. During the funeral service, which brought together many parishioners, she spoke with emotional words about the loyalty and dedication that Bayerl showed throughout his life. "Glow God!" were the words of thanks with which she reminded of Barbara's tireless work.

A farewell in the St. Georg

The last celebrations for their lives took place in the St. Georg Exposite Church, where Pastor Udo Klösel praised their career and the joy that she found. He particularly mentioned her enthusiasm for the ordination of the priest of Michael Steinhilber. Despite her advanced age, she was able to pursue the event at least from the window and liked to remember her own connection to such significant moments as the ordination of her relative Gerhard Dirscherl in 1963 in Regensburg.

a personal and family legacy

Barbara was born on December 27, 1933 as the oldest child by Johann and Barbara Bayerl. Her life was characterized by family ties that took a central place in her heart until her last breath. She grew up with her younger brother Konrad, while another brother, Josef, died early. Barbara was not only responsible for the care of her parents, but also accompanied her seriously ill brother until his death in 2011.

professional stations and life path

After her school days in Etzgersrieth, Barbara was employed by the Seltmann company in Vohenstrauß for a few years. Later she worked at the state forest to retire. In addition, she actively cultivated the parents' farm and thus established a connection to nature and the traditions of her homeland.

a lasting picture in the community

The entire community will remember Barbara Bayerl, not only because of her engagement and care, but also as a deep -believing woman who always lived and radiated faith. Her sudden death leaves a gap that will be difficult to fill. However, their legacy, both in the family and in the common sense, will live on and inspire many people.
