Audrey Vandergrift Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Audrey was the devoted wife of the late Thomas Vandergrift and a loving mother to Deborah Witkowsky (George) and Thomas Vandergrift. She was a proud grandmother to Angela Mathews, Kimberly Vandergrift, Amie Bolewitz, Patricia Barilla, Kristen Cantu, and Linda Cichowicz. Her legacy extended further as a great-grandmother to Michael, Haley, Madison, Olivia, Ella, Grace, Collin, Jackson, Luca, and Amelia, and as a great-great-grandmother to Violet. Audrey also leaves behind many nieces and nephews who held her dear.
She was preceded in death by her siblings Thaddeus, Anthony, Edward, Henry, Lucy Peters, Victoria Holan, Gertrude Ciesielski, and Clara Oakes. Despite these losses, Audrey's enduring spirit brought comfort to those around her.
Known for her heart of gold, Audrey was always ready to care for others in times of need. She found joy in simple pleasures like playing bingo and traveling to Atlantic City with her sisters. After many years of dedicated service at Magee Womens Hospital's gift shop, she retired but continued to bring light into the lives of everyone she encountered.
Audrey's memory will be treasured by all who knew her. May her kindness and love continue to inspire those she leaves behind. Friends and family will be received on Monday from 10:00 AM until time of Blessing Service at 1:00 PM in Thomas J. Gmiter Funeral Home, 2323 E. Carson St. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Dementia or Alzheimer's of Pittsburgh.
