Audrey was very active in the First United Methodist Church of Brandon, and Sunset Heights UMC of Plant City. Loving, compassionate, loyal, and fun, Audrey Ziegler was the best wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother that anyone could ever have. She was loved and admired by many and this love and admiration were reciprocated. An avid square dancer, Audrey and Andy danced their way around the country. The annual family cruise was Audrey's passion and love for the past 16 years. Her incredible sense of humor and positive attitude were evident until the end. The family would like to extend our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the nursing staff and doctors at South Florida Baptist Hospital in Plant City for the loving care they gave Audrey.
