10957 Tishia and Ora Zimmerman divorced when their son Donnell Zimmerman was a small boy. Donnell and his brother William went to live with their mother Tishia. Tishia met another man after the divorce and was engaged to married. Before they were married, she died of tuberculosis. Donnell was then raised by Tishia's mother until she died, then Tishia's brothers. William was raised by Ora's mother some of the time and also lived with his father Ora and his new wife Flossie.

The impact on Tishia’s two sons was significant to say the least. They both grew up being farmed-out to various relatives. William committed suicide at the age of 49. Donnell married and had 5 children and struggled to provide his kids what he never had (family, holidays, food on the table and shoes on their feet).

Donnell always spoke fondly of his mother. Tishia left a big imprint on a son that lost her when he was only 8 years old.

10959 To this union eleven children were born, five preceding her to the better land. She united with the Christian church in 1878 in which she lived a faithful Christian life. She was a kind friend and neighbor and an affectionate companion and mother. She leaves two daughters, Mrs. Susie Quakenbush and Mrs. Frankie Hodges; four sons, Truman, Lome, Wash and Emerson Boose; twenty-three grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn her loss. Aunt Fanny, as we always called her, was a good neighbor and had a pleasant word for everyone, and while it is our loss, it is her gain.

All was done that loving hands and constant attention could do at the time of her death, and the end came finding her ready and willing to go. She often expressed that assurance of a home beyond the sky and often telling her children that she was just patiently waiting for the Lord to call her home to that peaceful rest. The Lord's will be done, and that she is taken from us, we can meet again if we but hold out faithful until the end of life. 
Boose, Elias (I8420)

Tom spent many years working in the oil field with his Father and Brother. Tom was a lifelong resident of Olney, leaving only while he was stationed in Ft. Polk, LA while serving in the National Guard, and then headed to work in Australia building radio towers for Sam Miller for 6 months.

Beginning when he was a young boy, he took everything apart only to try and put them back together. His siblings mention that their childhood home was without doorknobs because of this passion. This led him to his lifelong hobby of restoring antique cars, the faster the better. As his boyhood friends tell it, days were spent getting into mischief and as adults, his friends would say the same thing.

Tom and Marilyn developed land, built rental properties and managed storage units. They were never far apart. He spent his spare time enjoying car shows, working on his antique cars, camping, going to the races, or relaxing at pond house and spending time with his two granddaughters, Ansley & Britton who adored PaPa.

We all knew that Tom was a loved friend and family member and at his passing we are reminded again of their love. He was loved by many and will be missed by all. Thank you for the memories.

Tom is survived by his wife of 34 years Marilyn; father, Bill Bauman; daughter Nikki Bauman Stauffer and husband Mike along with granddaughters Ansley and Britton Stauffer of Nashville, TN; step-daughter Christina Sechrest of Olney; nieces, Tarrah Cunningham of Hampton, VA, Amanda Harmon of Kansas City, MO, and Morgan Mayberry; nephews Ben Bauman of Chicago, Brandon Cunningham of Olney and Brandon Mayberry of NYC; siblings, Mike Bauman and wife Barbara, Susie Mayberry and husband Rick and Patti Harmon and husband Rick, all of Olney.

He was preceded in death by his mother, Berta (Travers) Bauman and infant brother, William Frederick.
