Eugenie Bierbrauer Obituary
SPARTANBURG, SC-- Eugenie Bierbrauer, 76, of Spartanburg, SC, died January 24, 2011, in hospice care in Cincinnati, OH. She was born, January 31, 1934, in Dresden, Germany.
Eugenie and her husband Horst moved to Spartanburg in 1966, where she lived the remainder of her happy and full life. She obtained her GED from Spartanburg Technical College. She worked for many years in Inventory Control for her former employer, Staubli Corporation. She was a tennis enthusiast and a member of the Spartanburg Athletic Club. She competed in many regional tennis competitions. She also greatly enjoyed swimming and water aerobics.
Her life was also filled with song - both as a participant in the St. John Lutheran Choir and in the Spartanburg Festival Chorus at Converse College. With the Festival Chorus, she had the opportunity to travel to Prague, Czech Republic, to participate in an international festival presentation singing of Carmina Burana.
She loved her neighborhood and friends at Oak Creek Plantation, where she spent many hours walking along the beautiful lakefront and visiting with her kind neighbors like Mrs. Jan Scott and Mr. & Mrs. Jay Bomar. In this way, she lived life to the fullest despite a diagnosis of cancer that eventually took her life.
Survivors include a daughter, Dr. Karin Bierbrauer, MD of Cincinnati, OH; a son, Andreas Bierbrauer and his wife Lynn of Omaha, NE; a grandson, Eric Bierbrauer; a granddaughter, Erin Bierbrauer; and a sister, Vera Fitzner of Dresden, Germany. She was predeceased by her husband Horst Karl Bierbrauer and a sister, Kati Holfeld.
Visitation will be 1:00-1:45 PM Friday, January 28, 2011, at Floyd's Greenlawn Chapel. Funeral services will follow at 2:00 PM in the Chapel, conducted by Pastor Emily Edenfield. Burial will be in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.
