She enjoyed working on genealogy, as family and extended family were exceedingly important to her. She was a foster mother to several children over the years. She was a very loving mother to them, as she was to her other children. She had been able to keep in contact with some of her foster children over the years since they left her home. Visiting with them was a great joy to her. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. There will be a memorial service held for Mrs. Niebauer on August 10 at 4:30 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 3415 Pleasant Plain Ave, Elkhart, IN 46517.
