Audrey worked for many years at Health Sciences Centre (HSC). She would spend most weekends and vacations out at the cottage at Lester Beach where she would always have music on, enjoy her flowers, golf and entertain friends and family. Having a good time and laughter were the main objectives.
Upon retiring, she moved out to the lake where she got back into her arts and crafts, photography and socializing. Audrey also enjoyed volunteering at the local elementary school.
