Audrey Thelma Bauer

Beloved Mother

And Grandmother

Audrey Bauer, 83, of Southbury, died April 5, at Danbury Hospital. She was born December 14, 1927, in Los Angeles, Calif.

She is survived by two sons, including Jim Bauer with his wife, Karen, of Newtown; and six grandchildren.

Mrs Bauer moved to New York City as a young adult to pursue a career in modeling. She worked with many designers, but was best known in the industry for traveling and working exclusively with an up-andcoming designer from Paris at the time, who is well-known today, Christian Dior.

After her husband’s death in 2002, she moved to Southbury from New York to be closer to family.

She lived her life with grace, enthusiasm, and kindness. She adored her family and took great pride in their accomplishments. She attended as many football and lacrosse games as she could, and attended her granddaughter’s ballet recitals regularly. She loved to cook and entertain. Some will never forget the amazing homemade sauerkraut that was served at the Snack Shack at Hawley School’s Taylor Field in Newtown during football season. She will be dearly missed by her family and those who loved her.

Graveside services will be Saturday, April 10, at 10:45 am, at Flushing Cemetery, Flushing, N.Y.
