She appreciated art, took great pleasure from nature and cared deeply about animals.Audrey will be especially missed by her close community of caring neighbours with whom she shared so many years of special memories. She was an active member of units 7 and 3 of Shawville United Church and will be dearly missed by her church community. Audrey was very appreciative of the excellent care she received from Tom and Jane O’Neill and was very grateful for their support. Audrey`s family would like to express their gratitude to the staff and volunteers of the Palliative Care Unit at CSSS for the compassionate treatment they provided. At Audrey’s request, there will be no visitation or public service. A private family service and interment will take place at a later date.
