Audrey was born in Glastonbury on June 12, 1940, and was the daughter of the late Albert and Mary (Kiebus) Drumm. She graduated from Glastonbury High School with the Class of 1958 and later moved to South Windsor to raise her family.
Before her retirement, Audrey worked for the Town of East Hartford in the Inspections and Permits Department. In her free time, she enjoyed reading and baking, and she was especially known for her delicious pies. She enjoyed lunch outings with her friends. She also loved to travel and treasured family beach vacations in Old Lyme. Above all, Audrey cherished spending time with her family. Being there for her grandchildren, who lovingly called her “Ninny,” brought her some of her greatest joy.
Audrey is survived by her daughter, Jean Milbrandt, and her husband, Matthew, of East Hartford; her four grandchildren, Matthew and Jason Milbrandt, both of East Hartford, and Lauren and Thomas Jezouit III, both of Manchester; her brother, Albert “Sonny” Drumm and his wife Sonia, of South Windsor; and several nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her son, Thomas Richard Jezouit Jr., of South Windsor, and her two sisters, Sylvia Kotulak and Dolores Bemer.
