She graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in New Orleans, Class of 1945, and organized the yearly class reunions.

Audrey was a parishioner of St Dominic Parish for many years and was a Eucharistic minister, a member of the Rosary Altar Society, and a member of the St. Dominic Dames. She was a founding member and actively involved in NAIM.

She later became a parishioner of St Angela Merici Parish where she attended daily Mass. For several years, she was on the Board of the One Metairie Place Condominium Association.

She was always humble, building up others without seeking personal attention or recognition. She enjoyed spending time with her family and with her condo friends at One Metairie Place. She particularly looked forward to her annual vacation to the Grand Hotel in Point Clear with her extended family.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation to St. Angela Merici Church or St. Dominic Church.
