Audrey was born at home in a log cabin in Monominto. She worked in Winnipeg briefly and then married the love of her life, Albert, in 1950. They raised their family of nine in Monominto on their family farm, where she continued to live for the rest of her life. She will be remembered for her love of family, friends, home, music and her home cooked delicious food. Audrey loved animals and the simple life on the farm. She had great joy entertaining people with her music playing alongside her family. Audrey’s greatest joy was all the little children in her life.

A celebration of Audrey’s life will be held Saturday, May 12, 2018 at Anola Community Club in Anola Mb at 1:30 PM. A private family internment will follow.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Anne hospital, Cancer Care Manitoba, The Heart and Stroke Foundation or the charity of your choice.
