Audrey Renee King, a beacon of love and kindness, passed away peacefully on May 31, 2024, at her home in North Port, FL. Born on May 14, 1954, in Arlington, VA, Audrey's life was a testament to the power of warmth and generosity, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.
Audrey's journey through life was one filled with joy, laughter, and an abundance of love. She shared over 50 beautiful years with her beloved husband, Timothy, a bond that was both inspiring and steadfast. Together, they raised two wonderful children, Keith, married to Tracy-Jo, and Renee, married to Justin Mays. Audrey's role as a grandmother to Brielle, Kyley, Caleb, and Cooper was one she cherished deeply, and her influence will live on through them.
Before dedicating her life to her family, Audrey briefly worked at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), where she was recognized for her exceptional work with an accommodation letter from a US Lieutenant Colonel. She then completed her working career at USAA. Her professionalism and dedication were evident in all her endeavors, but it was her decision to focus on her home and family that truly defined her.
Those who knew Audrey will remember her as an amazing woman who had a natural affinity for people. Her ever-present smile was a reflection of the joy she found in life's simple pleasures. She was a master of the challenging jigsaw puzzle, a hobby that showcased her patience and attention to detail. Audrey also had a creative side, often making beautiful afghans for her family members, each stitch a symbol of her love and care.
Audrey's decision to leave her career to become a homemaker was one she made with conviction. She never looked back, pouring her heart and soul into raising her family.
To describe Audrey as loving, kind, and friendly is to capture only a glimpse of the extraordinary person she was. Her spirit was characterized by an openness and friendliness that drew people to her. She had a unique ability to make everyone feel seen, heard, and valued, creating lasting connections with those she encountered.
The legacy Audrey leaves behind is one of unwavering love and the gentle strength of her presence. She was a guiding light to her family, a devoted wife, a nurturing mother and grandmother, and a treasured friend. Her impact on those that knew her was as profound as it was tender, and she will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
As we say farewell to Audrey Renee King, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a woman dearly loved. Her memory will continue to be a source of comfort and inspiration to her family, friends, and all who were touched by her gracious spirit. Audrey's journey through life may have come to a close, but the love she shared will resonate for generations to come. Her visitation will take place at Kays, Ponger and Uselton Funeral Home on Sunday, June 9 from 12:30 until the service time that begins at 2:30 pm.
