Liselotte Babette Bauer Prince, affectionately known as Lisa to her family and friends, passed away on February 1, 2026, in Natchitoches, Louisiana, at the age of 82.
Lisa was born on April 10, 1943, in Weigenheim, Germany, to Wilhelm and Margaretha (Betty) Bauer. In 1983, she permanently moved to the United States, where she continued to build a life rooted in love, strength, and devotion to family.
On September 23, 1969, Lisa married her devoted husband, John Prince, in Santa Cruz, California. As a proud military wife, she faithfully joined John throughout his Army career, traveling wherever duty called. Together, they created a life marked by resilience, commitment, and shared experiences.
Lisa is survived by her devoted husband, of 56 yrs, John Prince; her daughters, Susanne Prince Taylor (Wynne) and Andrea Prince Wilson (Scott); and her children in Germany: Lorenz Huber (Petra), Johannes Huber (Waltraud), Cornelia Huber, and Thomas Huber.
Her grandchildren were the light and joy of her life. She was lovingly known as “Nani” to David Kingsley (Eva), Brian Kingsley (Paige), Brandon Kingsley (Lisa), Michael Kingsley, Erickson Wilson (Kennedee), Kira Wilson, Lance Wilson, and Anna Sophia Taylor. She was also blessed with great-grandchildren Andrew Kingsley, Grace Kingsley, Townes Wilson, and Silas Wilson, who brought her immense happiness.
Lisa was a strong woman who deeply loved her family. She enjoyed keeping busy with gardening, bird watching, and especially spending time with her grandchildren, moments she cherished above all else.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Wilhelm and Margaretha Bauer; her brother, Lorenz Bauer; her sister, Wilhelmina Freymann; and her fraternal twin sister, Rosemarie Loeschel. In passing, she has now rejoined her family in eternal peace.
Visitation and funeral services will be held on Friday, February 6, 2026, at River Community Church in Natchitoches, Louisiana. Visitation will take place from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., followed by the funeral service at 10:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Central Louisiana Veterans Cemetery in Leesville, Louisiana.
