Audrey T. Whalen Roessler, 92, of Northford, passed away on October 21, 2025, at home, surrounded by her family.

She leaves behind her loving daughters, Katherine Stevens, Elizabeth Roessler (Rita Rienzo), Cynthia Roessler, and her daughter-in-law, Laura Roessler. In 1960, Audrey and Herb moved to Totoket Rd., North Branford, where she met her next-door neighbor and lifelong friend, Audrey Gallogly. The two Audreys were partners in crime as they raised their families together. Her greatest joy was her 8 grandchildren: Kayla Stevens, Katie Nichols (Tyler), Hannah, Emily, and Jacob Roessler, Sophie, and Courtney Rienzo, and Eli Roessler. They always had a special place in her heart, and they were all her favorites. She will also be missed by her loyal friend, Carol Sheffs. Audrey was born in Pawtucket, RI, on July 11, 1933, to the late Thomas and Edna Whalen. She was predeceased by her six siblings, Thomas, Robert, Douglas, Mary, Christine and Edna. She is survived by many beloved nephews and nieces. Audrey was a loving and caring mother, Nonnie, aunt, and friend, who always put her family first. Nothing gave her more pleasure than bringing the entire family and friends together to celebrate holidays and family events.
