Audrey Kathleen SMITH

1953 - 2021

SMITH, Audrey Kathleen (Kroeker) February 04, 1953 - August 19, 2021 Audrey passed away peacefully August 19, 2021, at 2:00AM at the hospital in Grand Forks, BC. Audrey grew up in Port Coquitlam with her younger brother and older sister, on five acres at the end of Pitt River Road. She was always surrounded by horses, cows, pigs, chickens, cats and dogs and she loved them all. Mostly though, she loved the horses; especially Cindy and her two foals Mecca and Rebecca. There was rarely a May Day parade in Port Coquitlam where one of the horses wasn't proudly ridden through town by Audrey in her cowgirl outfit. Her dream had always been to own some land and her own home. She finally achieved this later in her life. She found her piece of paradise on six acres in Grand Forks; a house with a cat, a barn for horses and a wide open space to breathe, completed her vision. Audrey always marched to her own drummer and lived life on her own terms. She will be remembered by family and friends as a free spirit. She is pre-deceased by her parents, Henry and Marian Kroeker, long time residents of Port Coquitlam. She is survived by her younger brother Henry Kroeker of Coquitlam, sister, Karen Kroeker (Scott Stone) of White Rock, her nephew, Benjamin Stone (Abby Swansburg) of New Westminster and her niece Aleida Stone (Adam Pesce) of Toronto. It was Audrey's wish to be cremated. No funeral is planned.
