Pauline Regina Battiste
June 30, 1935 — February 22, 2024
Pauline Regina Battiste, age 88, of Saint Peters, Missouri passed away on Thursday, February 22, 2024. She was born in St. Louis, Missouri on June 30, 1935 to Thomas and Katherine Cornell (nee Grassl).
Pauline is survived by her beloved husband of 65 years, William Powell Battiste; loving children, Andrea (David) Jennings, David (Nancy) Battiste, and Stephen Battiste; treasured grandchildren, Allison Jennings, Brian Jennings, Nicholas Battiste, Megan (Paul) Graham, Emily (Daniel) Darnell, Jess Battiste, Logan (Kyrah) Battiste, Tyler Battiste, Gabriel (Hannah) Battiste, and Chris Battiste; and cherished great grandchildren, Margaret Graham, George Graham, Scarlett Battiste and another great-grandchild (boy) expected this summer. Also survived by dear nieces, nephews, and other family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her father, Thomas Mallard Cornell; mother, Katherine Cornell; and brother, Robert "Lester" (Sylvia) Cornell.
Pauline was an avid gardener. She spent many hours tending the flower beds in her yard, took pride in their beauty and enjoyed sharing it with others.
She was a "do it yourself" kind of gal and it was never a surprise to see her with a hammer or power tool in her hand. Pauline loved bargains, and prided herself on finding great deals on clothing and household goods from resale shops or garage sales.
She enjoyed traveling with her husband, Bill. Together they saw the world, taking 24 cruises together and countless other trips. Pauline had a lifelong interest in genealogy and spent decades researching and writing her family history, which is now a treasured gift to her family.
Pauline left a legacy of faith and love, and through her life demonstrated to us the joys of having a close family. She was a testament to a life well-lived, and has left an indelible impact on those who were fortunate enough to have known her.
A Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, April 6, 2024 at Arlington United Methodist Church, 3770 McKelvey Road, Bridgeton, Missouri 63044. Service will begin at 10:00 am.
Memorial contributions may be made in Pauline's honor to the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
