Audrey was a woman who found joy in life’s simple pleasures and placed her family at the center of everything she did. For over 60 years, she made her home on the Parkway, creating a place filled with love, comfort, and countless memories.
Audrey enjoyed going to the movies and sharing lunch outings, moments she cherished as opportunities to connect and enjoy good company. In her younger years, she loved to travel with friends and to see family.
She was well known in her family for her cooking, especially her legendary blueberry torte, which is a treasured favorite. Her cast iron frying pan was always close at hand and produced the best crepes, made with care and love.
Above all else, Audrey’s family was her greatest pride and joy. She valued time together, traditions, and bonds that held everyone together. Her warmth, dedication, and quiet strength will be deeply missed and fondly remembered by all who knew her.
Audrey leaves behind a legacy of love, tradition, and family togetherness that will live on for generations.
