Audrey Craig Obituary

Audrey Llewellyn Craig Born July 26, 1967; tragically left this earth on January 20, 2007. Audrey is the beloved wife of Sean and loving mother of Emilee and Sarah. She is the beloved daughter of Shelly Fieber, Jim Llewellyn, Susan Klynn and Fred Chilton. She is the older sister of Jaime Llewellyn and brothers, Ken and Mike Chilton and Nick Klynn. She is auntie to Jack Llewellyn. Audrey lived her life surrounded by a loving family and many friends. She touched countless people with her warmth, compassion, humor and love. We will never forget her wonderful smile. Audrey spent her childhood in San Carlos, CA. She went to Notre Dame High School in Belmont, and to California State College, Sacramento, where she received her masters degree in social work. She spent the last 15 years as a bereavement counselor for Mercy Catholic Healthcare West where she helped grieving families deal with the loss of their loved ones. She was our rock. Audrey was also an outstanding member of the Sacramento and Roseville communities. She was actively involved in each and every aspect of her daughters' lives as team Mom, classroom Mom, and PTA board member. She was always there to help friends, neighbors and the community. Audrey made an impact on everyone she came in contact with. She was the sun, moon and stars to her husband and children. She will be dearly missed by her many relatives, friends, and the entire community. It will be impossible to live without her, but she will continue to provide all of us the inspiration to carry on, as was her calling in life and in love. Services will be Friday, January 26, 2007, at 11:00 a.m. at St. Clare's Church at 1950 Junction Blvd., Roseville. Please bring a single rose to the service. In lieu of other flowers, a trust fund has been established for the children at Golden One Credit Union, under the Emilee and Sarah Craig Fund. LAMBERT FUNERAL HOME (916) 783-0474

February 8, 2007

Thanks to all of you for the kind words, new memories and heartfelt consideration for me and the girls. There are no words that can express the magnitude of this loss. I grieve terribly for my children and their loss, she was an absolutely wonderful mother and completely devoted to Emilee and Sarah. As a wife, friend, and lover, she was always there for me, and loved me more than I can ever truly express to all of you. When I met Audrey, I had nothing but my lover for her. And yet. that was more than enough for her to see the man I would become and provide me the love and inspiration to become the person I am today. God Bless you my love, I will never forget what you mean to us. Your daughters will be the women you intended them to be and I promise to you and to all of our friends that I not rest until Emilee and Sarah are living happy, healthy successful lives.

Until we meet again my sweetheart.


You loving husband,

Sean

I worked with Audrey for almost 10 years at Mercy Hospice and was so sadded by her death. She was such an upbeat and positive person. I know she was a huge influence in the recovery of many in their losses. Those who spoke with her on the phone often remembered her kindness and understanding. She was an angel.
Our most recent conversation (in December) was about the "growing pains" of teenage girls. She spoke with such pride in her girls and it was clear she felt blessed by her children as well as her husband. I will miss her greatly, as will many.

Dear Craig Family,
I also attended Notre Dame High School with Audrey. What I remember most about her was her bright smile and kind heart. I was a year behind her, but she always treated me as if I were one of her own classmates. I am deeply saddened by your loss. God Bless,

I was on the I-80, in Vacaville, just behind the accident. After five hours of being trapped on the highway, I became obsessed with finding out what happened and who was involved. The only thing the paper said was "a 39 year old woman". When I finally saw the obituary, I was devastated to see that it was Audrey. Audrey was one of my best friends during our college years and I was a bridesmaid in her wedding. Although, I haven't seen Audrey in many years, I thought of her often and remembered the many great times we had together. She was a wonderful person. I feel so very sad for your family and wish to express my deepest sympathy to you all. I am so sorry.

I also went to ND with Audrey (class of 85). I did not know her well in highschool but after reading about her recently I can say she is the kind of person I would aspire to be. To lose a woman like her is beyond words. The world has suffered a great loss. I will keep you and your daughters in my prayers.

Sean, Emilee and Sarah,
Audrey and I had been friends since 6th grade at TL and then went to Notre Dame together. She was a special friend who always had a smile on her face which made her eyes sparkle. I have many memories with her that I will cherish. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Sean & Audrey were our neighbors for over 10 years (they moved about 2 months ago). For many years I worked from home and Audrey would stop by the house accross the street several times a day (It was one of her best friends' house). Audry always looked over, smiled, and waived at me through my office window. It didn't matter if her hands were full or it was storming outside. She always smiled and waived. Thank You Audrey!!!

Sean... We are very sorry for your loss. Emily & Sarah are a wonderful tribute to their mother. We wish you still lived in the neighborhood!!

Take Care My Friend!!

I was a friend of Jaime's at NH and had the pleasure of meeting Audrey during her first pregnancy. I remember how much Jaime admired and loved her sister. I was so saddened to hear this tragic news and wish the best to both families.

Scott Gaffney

January 26, 2007

I hadn't seen Audrey in 25 years, but, I can still vividly picture her in overalls and cowboy hat. I know people who kept in touch with her past TL and into Notre Dame and beyond and they all say she was still as bubbly a personality as she was in 8th grade. To her husband and daughters, please know Audrey was memorable even back as a child as she was later in life as a mother and wife. My thoughts go out to you and I am sure she had her daughters well on their way to being just as good people. In the past few years I have managed to get in contact with several people from old San Carlos days, and I am sorry that I didn't get the chance to reconnect with her. Those that did are the lucky ones.

Dear Sean, Emilee and Sarah,
I was a classmate of Audrey's at Notre Dame HS, and as you probably know, it is a small and tight-knit community. My deepest condolences to all of you during this terrible time, and the times you face ahead. Audrey's life and family were and are an inspiration to all of us, and I hope you may draw upon her incredible example.

I will keep all of you in my thoughts...

Yours most sincerely,

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with Audrey during my internship at Mercy Hospice. We shared a desk where she proudly displayed pictures of her beautiful daughters. She was a warm, caring, intelligent, competent and witty colleague. My prayers and thoughts have been with you since the day I heard the tragic news and will continue to be with you. I am so sorry for your loss and share in sadness at this time.

Dear Fred and Susan,

I hardly know what to say at a time like this ... only thank you for having the opportunity to have met Audrey at a couple of our Dept. lunches. I was seated next to her at one of them and I came away with the distinct impression of an incredibly intelligent woman, deeply committed to her family, and in possession of such tremendous heart that enabled her to do the work she did. My thoughts and prayers are with you both, and your entire family, at this time and forever in the future.

Take care,

My heart goes out to Sean and the entire family. Although it's been a long time since I've seen all of you, I clearly remember Audrey's excitement as she planned her wedding; her tears of joy when she found out she was pregnant with Emilee; her absolute radiance as she held her newborn daughter; her close bonds with her mother and sister, and the fun we had together at Camellia. I have no doubt that she left footprints on many, many hearts and that she will be dearly missed.
