From a young age, Audrey loved literature. She was commonly found reading, writing, and drawing. Captivated by mysterious, fantasy worlds that left her imagination running, all throughout her life. Her fearless mind did not leave as she was an adult. She was passionate when it came to any type of adventure. If you couldn’t find her, she was outdoors. Walking around all day or night, exploring new places, discovering new things. She also loved camping. Audrey found her peace in solitude, while looking up at the stars, trees, and sky, daydreaming. She admired the unexplainable parts of nature, trying to make any sense of it. (Which might explain some of her conspiracy theories!) Her mind was mysterious and one of a kind.

She was extremely protective of her younger siblings growing up. Molding herself into a motherly figure for them at times. Cooking, playing games, letting them tag along, even when she was with her friends and it was “uncool”. She kept them from harm, standing up for them in any way she could, even if that meant that she had to put herself in the middle of the problem. She bravely stepped in between it all, with her head held high and a warrior face on, so she could be her little sibling's protector. She was also a fun sister! Constantly singing loud and dancing. Her singing voice was beautiful, even scoring her a backup singing gig in Las Vegas for a while! Not to mention, she was beautiful, with a strong, spunky personality that stood out to most.

As she became a mother, she taught them to enjoy the fun in nature, playing outside. From climbing trees, jumping in rivers, and picking out cool sticks and rocks. Her goal was to keep them off electronics and away from the TV. She did not want them to lose grip of the reality in this world. Her inquisitive personality helped her continuously ask her son’s questions and let them know it was okay to be curious and want more. Although she didn’t have all the answers, she encouraged her boys to always speak up.

Audrey was a unique individual. Her wild personality always made an unforgettable impression, everywhere she went. Life will never be the same without her and all our good memories, will be cherished by us, forever.

We love you, Audrey!
