Audrey was predeceased by her parents. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Abe; her son Jared and her daughter Eden. Left to cherish her memory are her dearest and closest friends, Donna-Lynn and Rhonda. Audrey took pride in the work that she did for the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra. She was a very generous and giving person. She spent her life donating her valuable time and efforts to non-profit organizations, working hard to raise money for various charities and striving to meet the organization's goals.

A special thank you to Dr. Danais-Brown, Dr. Zaki and Dr. Grenier for all the care and comfort they provided to Audrey.

I came across an old email from Audrey today. I shed tears and laughed as I wished once again for her to still be on the other end of the phone… to make me laugh to give me advice. Audrey was my favourite person in a family where I always felt outside. She was a fierce friend. I miss her talks her voice and her compassion. I was truly blessed to have called her family. - Posted by: Marcia friesen (Neice) on: Nov 25, 2021
