BAUER, CENTA- aged 74, passed away Sunday, Dec. 26 peacefully at home, surrounded by her family. Centa was born in Bavaria, Germany. She had a love of nature and her Darling's Island home was a great place for her to grow her beautiful gardens. Centa passed along her great love of animals and her strong work ethic to her family. Centa is survived by husband, Dale, son Richard, daughter Christa and caregiver Linda. Linda has been a terrific help over these many years and has become part of our family. The Bauers would like to thank everyone at Extra Mural Care in Quispamsis and Dr. Ed Phillips for all of the care they provided over the years. In memory of Centa, donations to the Saint John Animal Rescue League would be appreciated. The arrangements have been entrusted to Reid's Funeral Home (832-5541), Hampton. www.reidsfh.com
