Eloise (Bauman) Mast, 94, of Milford, passed on the morning of December 14, 2025, at 1:49 am, very peacefully, at Waterford Crossing in Goshen, Indiana, where she had been a resident for the past two years. Eloise was born on April 23, 1931 to Guy Eugene and Anna (Leichty) Bauman, in Fort Wayne, Indiana, growing up in the Grabill and Leo areas.

Then at the young age of 18, she married the love of her life, Lester J. Mast, on January 22, 1950. They were married for 68 years until his passing in 2018. Her and Lester lived on a small farm west of Milford. This is where they raised their four sons.

Eloise worked outside the home for over 25 years at Da-Lite Screen in Warsaw in assembly. Upon retirement, she enjoyed her yard, front porch, camping, and traveling. Her main priority was being a homemaker. The joy of her life was her grandchildren. Their calls and visits made her day. It was the small things that meant the most to her and filled her heart with great joy. Then along came great grandchildren which were the apple of her eye. She loved so deeply and always was concerned about them and what they were up to. She has had the privilege of watching them grow. Some are adults now and others are still working on it. She was very proud of each and every one of them and she will continue to watch over them.

Eloise is survived by her four sons: Larry (Deb) Mast of Milford, Mike (Terri) Mast of Goshen, Tom (Janie) Mast of Auburn, and Gary (Linda) Mast of Warsaw, her grandchildren: Matthew (Jennifer) Mast, Scott (Denee`) Mast, Stephanie (Mike) Lane, Angela (Chris) Bruszewski, Abbie (Tyler) DeLaMater, Ashlie Mast, Jason (Danica) Mast, Meagan Mast, her great grandchildren: Desiree (Kingley) Kantande, Logan Mast, Madilyn Lane, Connor Lane, Brianna Bruszewski, Leighton Bruszewski, Grantham DeLaMater, Jonathan DeLaMater, Jackson Mast, Emmalyn Mast, her great great grandchildren: Bomani Kantande, Delsin Kantande, Tujaliwe Kantande, one sister-in-law, Barb Mast of Goshen, and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, three sisters: Mary Jane King, Ilene Miller, and Elanore Yoder, six brothers-in-law, and two sisters-in-law, and a grandson, Ryan Mast in 2024.

Her memory will linger on through the stories shared by her family and friends.
