Annette Vaudrin was born on March 16, 1919 in Polk County, near Gentilly, MN, the daughter of Napoleon and Leah (Gervais) Vaudrin. She attended Country School and as the older brothers left home to work out or start a home of their home, Annette and her younger brother and her sister were left to do many of the chores, such as milking cows by hand, feeding the chickens, gathering eggs, and tending the garden.

Annette was united in marriage to Wilfred Audette on November 14, 1939 at St. Peter Catholic Church in Gentilly, MN. The couple made their home in Red Lake Falls.
