Audrey Marion Keyes

Audrey Marion Keyes, of Bridport, Vermont, passed away peacefully on November 28, 2025, at the age of 92.
Born on March 22, 1933, in Middlebury, Vermont, Audrey was a lifelong Vermonter whose life was deeply rooted in her community and family. She graduated from Middlebury High School and went on to build a long and dedicated career at Middlebury College, where she worked in the President's office providing secretarial support until her retirement.
Audrey was a devoted member of the Bridport Congregational Church for many years. Her love of music found expression in the church choir, where she sang faithfully and contributed to the spiritual life of her congregation. Her commitment to community extended beyond the church. She was also very active in both the Bridport and Pomona Granges, where she held several offices and played an important role in supporting local agricultural and civic initiatives.
Audrey found joy in quiet pastimes such as reading and solving crossword puzzles-activities that reflected her thoughtful nature and sharp mind.

Myers, FL; seven grandchildren and eleven great-grandchildren. She is also survived by sisters Barbara Swinton, Cindy Belanger and Louise (David) Richmond.Audrey was predeceased by her beloved husband Bill; her daughter Becky Lewis; and sons Will Keyes and Kenny Keyes.
