Born August 23, 1932 in Spy Hill, Saskatchewan, she moved with her family to the Oatfield district in Eriksdale Municipality in 1938.

She became an L.P.N. in 1972, and was a nurse for over 20 years. She loved nature, rides in the country, visits to Assiniboine Park, enjoyed wild flowers and her own house plants. She will be remembered by friends and family for her kind, compassionate heart. Audrey is survived by her brother Lawrence Murphy (Anita); sister-in-law Laura Murphy.
