R Bauer Insurance

As the youngest and the only girl in the family, Mary grew up in the insurance business and was taught the importance of community service at an early age.
Mary takes advantage of all volunteer opportunities including serving on several education committees, the local, state and national Distinguished Young Women Scholarship Programs, the Oregon Community Foundation, and the Alumni Board of Oregon State University.
She is a dedicated and loving mother, grandmother, sister, and wife.
If she's not busy in the office or out in the community, you'll likely find her spending time with her favorite people: her grandchildren.

In 1957 our father, Ralph Bauer started in the insurance business so that he could become his own boss, leaving behind a stable job as a bread truck driver with Master Bread Company.
He opened up Ralph Bauer Insurance in 1957, a Farmers Insurance Group agency, in his own home.
In 1972 his son, Dick, joined him and in 1977 his son Tom went to work as a producer for Farmers Insurance group and the agency became Ralph Bauer & Sons Insurance.
In 1981 Ralph Bauer retired from Farmers Insurance and his sons Dick and Tom, along with daughter Mary, and oldest son Dave started R. Bauer Insurance, Inc. Ralph passed away in 1994 but three of his children continue to own and operate the agency today.
