Students, arts community loved 'Miss Anita' Perrine
At St. Joseph's Academy high school in Tucson, Ariz., Anita Perrine was class president four years in a row.She was so well-liked, no one ran against her in her senior year.
Mrs. Perrine had a similar positive effect on people after moving here in 1964 and spending her life as a mother, teacher and lover of humanity and the arts.
She died Wednesday at a local hospital as a result of toxic shock caused by a hernia. She was 57.
"She wasn't just a mother to me; she was a mother to everyone she ever met," her daughter, Emily Perrine of Huntsville, said Saturday afternoon. "I don't think there is anything I can say, any words, that can do her justice. "She had a way of making you feel special, making you feel validated. When you talked to her, she listened. And she gave loving words in return."
"Miss Anita," as she was called by her students, was a Montessori teacher in Huntsville for 30 years, an active volunteer for the AIDS Action Coalition and one of the main coordinators in bringing the "Sacred Art Objects of the Dalai Lama" exhibit to the Huntsville Museum of Art in March 2001.
She was also the administrator of the Huntsville Youth Orchestra in the early 1990s.
"Since I was born, she let me do whatever I wanted," her daughter said. "In my life I've been a musician, an artist, a gymnast and a student. She showed me that I could be anything I wanted to be. She showed a lot of people that."
Former students, now adults who had not seen her since preschool, recognized Mrs. Perrine on the street, her daughter said.
Some of her former students brought their own children back to her.
"I knew she was an important person and cared a lot about people, but until she died I had no idea the depth of how she affected others," Emily Perrine said. "She was a pillar of importance to everybody she ever met."
Survivors include her husband, Scott Perrine, another daughter, Kim Perrine of Atlanta, and one son, Greg Perrine of Lexington, Ky.
Visitation will be Monday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Laughlin Service Funeral Home. Memorial donations may be made to the AIDS Action Coalition.
