She served for a short time as superintendent of the Ayr Public School. Audrie was a 4-H leader, treasurer of the Ayr Centennial Committee, and served on the township board elections.
Over the years, Audrie and Tom opened their home to many people including nieces and nephews and friends of their children and grandchildren. Audrie was a beautiful seamstress; she sewed clothes for her family and made quilts.

Above all, Audrie loved being a wife, a mother, and a grandmother. She loved being a homemaker. She loved her husband more than life. Audrie loved the Lord and she taught her family about Him by word and actions. Her Faith was unwavering. Audrie was bright and brave, loving and giving, a teacher and a mentor, so gentle and so incredibly strong. We were very lucky to have her bless our lives. She will be deeply missed.
