Loving mother of Roy Hyer, Jr., Peggy Hyer Mellor (William), Susan Hyer Zimmerman and Wayne Hyer. She was the proud grandmother of Ryan Zimmerman (Stephanie), Stacie Mellor Collins (Chris), Matthew Zimmerman (Angela) and Maureen Hyer Fleischman (Jon). She idolized her seven great-grandchildren: Savanna, Kohen and Carson Zimmerman, Preston Collins, Kyle Winkler III, and Sophia and Matthew Fleischman.

Audrey was born and raised in the Irish Channel and was a resident of Metairie for 70 years. She was a very proud volunteer Red Cross nurse’s aid during World War II, worked at National Cash Register while a newlywed, and most importantly, was a loving mother and housewife after the birth of her four children. She loved being surrounded by her large and fun family. She was always the life of the party with her vibrant personality and high energy – even in her 90’s!!!! She hosted many gatherings at her home and had great memories at Pops camp in Little Woods which she owned for nearly 20 years.
