Audree Bentley Obituary

Published by Legacy on Aug. 18, 2025.
Audree J. (Turnblom) Bentley, Age 93, of Vadnais Heights, Minnesota, died from cancer on August 18, 2025 after suffering from Alzheimer's disease for several years.

She was preceded in death by parents Robert and Gertrude (Babb) Turnblom; sister Janice Ruth (Turnblom) Jorgensen; husband Wallace Bentley; step-son Russell Bentley; and her beloved cat, Garcia. She leaves behind sons Richard Osborne and Jed Greene (nee Jeffrey Osborne); daughter Julie (Bentley) Engler; niece Karen Jorgensen; and step-children David Bentley, Sandra (Bentley) Allshouse, and Neil Bentley.

After receiving an Associate of Science degree in dental hygiene from the University of Minnesota, Audree practiced her profession with several private dental offices and the St. Paul Public Schools before retiring at age 70 from the Hubert H. Humphrey Job Corps Center.

Known for her signature smile, unfailing good spirit, and generosity to a fault, Audree will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her.

A gathering to celebrate her life and mourn her passing will be held on Sunday, October 19 at Roseville's Lexington Park Building, 2131 Lexington Avenue N. Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., with a formal program starting at 3:30 p.m.
