Ann Perrine Bauer

RIP APB. Thank you for the thoughtful and caring letters you sent to me in a dark time. I will always fondly remember my second cousin.

Ann was always a delight, and staying at the Bauers was an adventure. Imagine getting up in the middle of the night to watch a nocturnal Queen of the Night orchid open, bloom, and close before going back to bed. We had jockied for the best photo shots of the plants and later compared our efforts. Another time we spent waiting for sundown and watching the home engineered waterfalls at the bottom of the hill. Ann and Hank were our kind of creative! Every meal was a feast, and your Christmas...

I was glad to work with and help out Ann for a year shortly after Hank passed. What an interesting and fun person she was. We had interesting conversations during the sometimes mundane acts of shopping for food, doing errands or buying birthday cards for her friends and family. I send her and her family love and prayers. Her energy and passion will be remembered by all who knew her.

My deepest condolences for the family, Ann was a kind a beautiful soul, I will remembered her as a generous and helpful docent.

Sending love and compassion to all the family

Ann made the dullest meetings sparkle with imaginative questions. When she was giving a docent talk at the St. Louis Art Muséum or for Opéra Théâtre of St. Louis the Audi en were gives deeply researched materials uplifted by her enthusiasm for the art. At Opera Theatre docent meetings she brought delish, home -baked treats and presented them with style. She talked about her wonderful Hank so that even before we met him we felt we knew him.
