Her work history included time as a secretary, administrative assistant, various hospitality industry positions and as an elder care giver in her later years.

Audrey’s love of others and spirit of generosity made their home a place where all were welcome and she readily took in many children and young adults. She was known for her cooking. She was at her best in the company of others. She had the gift of living life in the moment and enjoying it.
