Left to rejoice with the memory of a remarkable person are her daughter Wendy, son-in-law Drew, grandchildren Scott and Lee and her irrascable cat Spunky. During her lifetime Audrey faced numerous challenges and difficulties which she addressed with intelligence, courage and inner strength. Amongst her professional accomplishments Audrey became one of the first women to be named chief purchasing agent for a major grain company, at a time when women were fighting for rights she was one of the lead advocates for changing business practices by having companies open their pension plans to include women. Audrey was successful accountant specializing in helping small businesses. Her clients were more than her business acquaintances, they became her cherished friends. It was only the progression of her illness that compelled her to reluctantly hang up her calculator and retire. At Audrey's direction cremation has taken place and no formal service will be held, also in keeping with her request a small family celebration of her life will take place at her favourite rib joint . The family would like to express their thanks for the kindness and care Audrey received at the St. Boniface General Hospital Emergency Department, SE. Ward and 5B Medicine Ward. Further, thank you to Dr. Sharma and nurse Debbie Sciberis for their ongoing care and compassion.
