Audrey was born in Carman and raised in the Myrtle area. She met George while working in Winnipeg at a café. After getting married in Churchill in 1953 they lived in Elm Creek, Flin Flon, and Snow Lake. They enjoyed the north and stayed there for nearly 45 years. After retirement they moved to Carman. She took up golfing, became active in the seniors’ center, and enjoyed visits from her new friends and family. She loved nothing more than gathering with friends and family, especially her grandchildren. She enjoyed many crafts; especially knitting, crocheting, and cooking special meals and treats for loved ones.
Audrey leaves a legacy of devotion and commitment to her family. She is lovingly remembered as a kind and gentle soul who was always quick with a smile and a hug.
