Barbara Camille Cooper Watkins

Dear Annie,

This is Renee Pernoud. You may not remember me, but your mother was an inspiration to me. The house that she created on Sunset has long been in my memories, as well as the wonderful tribute your father gave to your sister, Julie, on her 16th birthday. As I recall, Mr. Mason, your father, played a record over and over...I believe it was Chuck Berry's Little 16 on a 45 record player he set up in the hallway. I had the wonderful opportunity to be invited for a stay-over...

We are neighbors and wanted to express our sincerest condolences to your entire family. It is certainly the passing of an era and may Babs rest in peace now forever.

With our kindest thoughts and sympathies at this sad time,
Amanda and Tim Horan

Those were some fond memories that I can remember and how gracious and kind this family was and still is. My sister Melissa sent a text to me and my sister Jamie to let us know about Babs passing.

Dear Julie and Anne, and families,

I was so saddened to learn of the death of your beloved mother Babs. She was such a delightful person and a joy to know. She was a unique talent with an impeccable eye for beauty. She will be missed.
All my love,

I had the great fortune to meet Babs in 2000, when she had grandchildren from pre-school to high school. She instantly made me feel like family and extended her warmth and generosity with no limits. She was and probably still is a true aesthete. Her eye and orientation to color and space are present in my life through generations of inculcation. She loved and appreciated great music deeply. She made my life better.
