The Baumann home on Siesta Key that they bought in 74 for $32K is for sale (It is currently valued at a mil)

Prime WATERFRONT location on Grand Canal! 3 minutes to open water! Priceless views from this oversized corner lot. This charming pool home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, split plan with wood burning fire place in the living room as well as a large screened patio overlooking water views! This zero landscaped property is located in sought after Siesta Key neighborhood situated on a private cul-de-sac. Just around the corner from the world famous Siesta Key beach and unforgettable sunsets!

God bless her; didn't know she was ill. Was a nice lady with a lot to deal with!

So sorry to hear this. I worked with Araceli and only found out recently she had Alzheimer's. I can't find anything yet in the Sarasota papers so thanks for posting and letting us know.

As of today (Saturday the 6th)

there is still no mention in our

local Sarasota Herald Tribune

Maybe they're waiting for Sunday

which is more widely read here

micktucs said...

Yes, perhaps tomorrow there will be an announcement. Thanks!

Chic Silber said...


Well Sunday has rolled around &

still nothing in our local "rag"

& I do mean that in the worst way

I'll try to rattle a cage or 2

Although it's still not in the

Sarasota paper I've learned from

Jeanette Williams that Araceli's

funeral will be this Friday at 5P

at Toale Bros Gulf Gate Chapel at

6903 South Tamiami Trail (US 41)

I'm sorry to say I can't make it

as I will be in Toronto

Chic - thanks for all the info and attempts to find an obituary. I live in Tucson and won't be there. But will always have great memories of working with her back in the 70's.

I have also learned that there

will be a Catholic Mass celebrated

by Father Celestino at St Jude's

at a later date & her ashes will

be interned in St Matha's garden
