It was a pleasure to know Audrey as a fellow teacher at St. Veronica’s School in the early 1970s. Audrey was very dedicated to her young students and enjoyed being with them. I had the opportunity to go to her wedding. I have never seen a bride happier than Audrey on her wedding day. Since then, I have seen Audrey only a few times, but in those visits, I remember what a great sense of humor she had and how humble and sincere she was. I will miss Audrey and know she is in God’s gentle hands where she is at rest.

I was privileged to hire Audrey at St. Veronica’s and she was an outstanding teacher. Her love for the children with limitations were the meds for growth and enhancement for feeling loved.

Audrrey’s humor matched her talents, of a super nature. She lived her religious convictions and we as Franciscans always embraced her as one of us. What a party the residents of heaven had when she arrived! Her funeral mass was a true celebration and right where she belonged, among her Sisters

in the little chapel of the former St. Mary’s Academy on So.

Lake Dr. Thanks to her relatives and friends.
