Audrey (Williams) Chase, 92

Worcester Telegram & Gazette (MA) - Tuesday, November 29, 2005

CONCORD Audrey (Williams) Chase, 92, of Concord, died Thursday, November 24, after a brief illness. Born in Llandudno, Wales on May 25, 1913, she was the daughter of Frederick and Anna R. (Johanssen) Williams. She graduated from Howe High School in Billerica; additional education was in the field of business at Lowell Tech, Boston University, Boston College, and the School of Modern Languages.
After the death of her first husband, Lowell realtor Roger Hildreth, she began her career as a travel agent with QuinWell Travel, a Wellesley firm from which she retired as Vice-President. She was President of the Wellesley Quota Club and a member of Women in Travel. During her 40 years in business she traveled the globe many times and led tours to Mexico, Europe, the South Pacific, the Orient, Africa, and the Mideast. In 1971 she married Edward P. (Ted) Chase of Concord with whom she shared interests in photography, reading, golf, bridge, and languages until his death in 1996.
Mrs. Chase was a wonderfully strong, meticulous, dignified, and kind person whom her family loved dearly, was a stabilizing force for many family members, and had many friends. She was an active volunteer at Emerson Hospital. She loved dogs and was impressed by the work of the service-dog organization NEADS.
She is survived by stepchildren: Elizabeth Hurlbut of Carmel, Indiana; Sam Chase of Chelmsford and his wife Candy; and Nick Chase of Worcester and his wife Bobbie, as well as step-grandchildren. She is also survived by three sisters: Edith W. Berger of Concord; Elsie W. Cann of North Waterboro, Maine; and Doris L. Williams of Kingston, New Hampshire; and by nieces and nephews.
Her funeral was Monday, November 28 with burial in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord. Memorial Week (Shiva) will be observed at the home of Nick and Bobbie Chase, 132 Moreland Street, Worcester from 3 to 8 PM on Tuesday, November 29, and 3 to 8 PM on Wednesday, November 30.
