She was known for her remarkable dedication to her family, friends and community, which served as a testament to her generous spirit. Whether it was through acts of service, words of encouragement, or a simple smile, she had a way of making everyone around her feel valued and loved.

Audrey worked with children during her career. She started out at Children's Resource Center then went on to Head Start and in 1984 she went onto work at Northwest College day care for 19 years, where her contributions were instrumental in shaping the lives of many.

Through her work, she displayed a relentless commitment to excellence and an unwavering belief in the potential of others.

Audrey's achievements serve as a poignant reminder of what can be accomplished with determination and heart.

Audrey had a passion for flowers, gardening, cooking and baking, being with family and friends especially her grandchildren, wherein she found joy and fulfillment. She relished the beauty of life's simple pleasures, such as making her goodie baskets full of sweet treats especially at Christmastime and took every opportunity to share those moments with loved ones.
