Audrey grew up in Chicago, her favorite Cub was Ron Santo. She graduated from Northern Illinois University with a degree in Early Childhood Education, moved to Dayton and began her career caring for children. Audrey had a beautiful smile, and infectious laughter, always quick to smile and laugh. She was an amazing mother, teaching her boys how to love, what it means to be a great parent and that Clausen's are the best pickles. She made the best turkey gravy, loved Fleetwood Mac and tie-dye and her favorite drink a Vanilla vodka Martini with a splash of Kahlua. Her love for children will be her legacy.
