She was the cherished grandma of 18 grandchildren and great-grandma of 34 great-grandchildren. Audrey will also be remembered by her nieces, nephews and their families.

At Audrey’s request, cremation has taken place. A private family graveside service will be held at Ebenezer Cemetery, North Middlesex. 

 

Audrey was a dedicated farmer’s wife who taught her children to work hard, spend wisely and show respect to all. She was our rock and salt of the earth. She loved to quilt and provided warmth and love with her many gifts to us. She helped us raise her grandchildren and they are all the better for it. She is deeply missed by all who call her Mother, Grandma, Great-Grandma and friend. 

 

Arrangements entrusted to the T. Harry Hoffman and Sons Funeral Home, Dashwood. If desired, memorial donations may be made to Epilepsy Southwestern Ontario (payable directly at epilepsyswo.ca/donate/) or the Canadian Cancer Society (https://cancer.ca/en) would be appreciated by the family.
