She was known for her joviality, her feistiness, her voracious reading, her love for animals, her appreciation of the simple yet important things in life, and most of all her love for and commitment to her family. And man, did she like weddings! Audrey dedicated her life to making life the best she could for her family - in the face of some very challenging conditions. Not satisfied with that, she followed her passion for animals and in her later years was a pet-sitter who was beloved by her clientele. Audrey was Mom in the very best sense of the word. Before she died, she penned a personal, simply elegant love letter to each of her children to be opened upon her passing. Her legacy lives on in the close-knit family that she stitched together and nurtured for her lifetime. In accordance with her wishes, no services will be held. Memorial donations can be made in her name to the Central Coast Humane Society, PO Box 71, Newport, OR 97341. THANK-YOU MOM!
