KATHLEEN AUDREY SMITH Born March 14, 1923 in Dufferin Municipality, MB. Passed away peacefully in her home in Ottawa on Sunday, June 6, 2004. "Aunt Audrey", as she was known to both friends and family, spent her working career with the Federal Government and her free time assisting those in need of a little "helping along".

Audrey was orphaned at 11 years of age along with her eight year old brother Arthur (deceased May 2003) during the Great Depression. Both children left the farm in Carmen, MB to be brought up by their aunt Dottie and uncle George Kime along with their daughter Lillian in Winnipeg. Audrey left Winnipeg at the age of 17 to start her career with the Federal Civil Service in Ottawa, where she worked for 40 years. Audrey leaves behind a wealth of good and dear friends, a niece Lynda Palahniuk and her family in Kelowna, BC, a nephew Alan and his family in Port Perry, ON and a cousin Lillian in Lake Havasu, Arizona.
