Audrey Lois Matthews

Peacefully at Algoma Residential Community Hospice surrounded by the love of her children our mother left us on Monday, March 23, 2026 at the young age of 95.

Mom was the youngest child of Anna and Carl Skagen. A loved daughter-in-law to Vera and Mel Matthews

Beloved wife of Ray for over 65 years. He will be polishing up his dancing shoes awaiting her arrival.

Mom will be missed by her children Wendie (John Disano), Steve (Pina), Janie (Eric Capancioni), Mike (Roberta) and Tracy (Ron Bouchard).

Her memories will live on in the hearts of her grandchildren Carli Disano (Devon), Joel Disano (Ethan), Alexander Matthews, Rob Capancioni (Alexandra), Marc Capancioni (Jennifer), Alyssa Katagis (Peter), F Lucky and Penny, Jami Dellavedova (Nick) and Mitchell Behrens (Madalyn).

GG will be remembered with love by Luciana and Mateo Capancioni, Emmie and Neilo Capancioni, Max and Leo Katagis and Samantha Dellavedova.

A beloved sister of the heart to Diane Infanti. Audrey looked forward to her visits with Darlene Belsito.

She will be remembered as a fun-loving sister, sister-in-law, aunt, great aunt, cousin and friend to many people. Always up for a party.

Mom was proud of her Norwegian heritage.

She liked to tackle many projects while dad was working up the LINE. He came home to many surprises, she kept him on his toes.

She believed in hard work. She persevered with many challenges through the past few years.

One of her greatest accomplishments was returning to school. She graduated from Korah Collegiate, she then went on to attend Algoma School of Nursing. She and Wendie graduated together. Mom worked as an R.N. for many years at the Plummer Hospital. Janie and Tracy continued the family tradition of nurses. Mom enjoyed Mike's music-filled visits. She also enjoyed her phone calls with her son Stephen from Montreal.

No words can possibly express our heart-felt love for the staff and volunteers at ARCH, they became our friends and second family over the last few months. Your love for our mother will never be forgotten.

As mom would say "THANK YOU".

Mom- Go rest High on That Mountain. Your Work on Earth is Done.

LOVE YOU FOREVER.
