I remember as a kid the joy of going on vacation with my mom to Spokane. We always got to spend time with Great Aunt Audie and Great Uncle Paul. Aunt Audie was such a special and sweet lady. Always a bright smile and very loving. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. I love you both so much

Audrey was truly a beautiful person. She was always very kind and always had a smile for anyone she met. My grandfather (Gilbert) always spoke of her in the highest regards and he always said he couldn't have asked for a better sister-in-law. She will be in our thoughts and prayers. With warmest regards to the family and with deepest sympathy as we remember Aunt Audrey..

What a blessing to every life you have touched!! You have demonstrated what it means to Love the Lord, loving your family, putting others before yourself, the meaning of true happiness, joy, and laughter. Your legacy will continue in all the hearts and lives you have touched. I count it a blessing to be a part of this family.

The Lord reached down from the heavens and lead his special angel, Audrey Gifford, onward in her next journey forever. Audrey enjoyed sharing a story, a joke, or a laugh or two with friends. She was a shining example of what we all should try to be. She had a distinct purpose in life while here on Earth.
Audrey enjoyed playing bingo, cards, or just making someone else feel good or better about themselves. She did not have a mean bone in her body.
She was a shining example of a good Christian "that walked the walk." There is a big void here on Earth in her absence---but she is no longer in pain and is at peace as she smiles looking down at each and every one of us.
I feel blessed in knowing her over the years and she touched so many hearts with her kindred spirit.
Since Audrey's birth-date until her passing last Sunday---aviation advancements, electronic advancements, permanent press! disposable diapers! microwaves! flush toilet!, etc . . .
Audrey, you are already missed---but you are at peace in a place far better than Earth ever was.
Sincerely, David E. Goodwin

The Good Lord reached down Sunday afternoon and lifted his angel into the heavens. He lead the best of the best on her next journey forever. There is hardly a soul that Audrey Gifford hadn't touched as she meandered through life while here on Earth. Audrey always maintained a good sense of humor and enjoyed being with her family and friends that she loved dearly.
Audrey enjoyed playing bingo, cards, and enjoyed making other people feel good. She had such a kindred spirit about her. I feel fortunate to have known her throughout the years sharing a story and a joke with her during that time. She was a very hard worker, she had goals and a distinct purpose in this world---we should all take notice.
Think of how much the world has changed from Audrey's birth-date until her passing last Sunday. Aviation advancements, electronic advancements, permanent press!, microwaves!, disposable diapers!, flush toilets, etc. . . .
Audrey will be missed by all that knew her in her short time while here on Earth. I am grateful to have known her and share a laugh or two with her. I am blessed to know her family that she loves/loved dearly. I am glad she is no longer in pain and is at peace smiling down at each and every one of us.
Sincerely, David E. Goodwin
