Audrey, It was a pleasure to know you and work on the Ambulance with you, you were one of the hardest working EMTs I ever worked with. You were a big help when I moved to town and took the time to drive with me to get familiar with the town roads. You will be sadly missed but fondly remembered.Rest In Peace.

'Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants'. ---Psalm 115:16 As my girl scout leader I remember her to be sharp minded and energetic. She had such a beautiful smile, and twinkle in her eye!
So sorry for your loss, Sherry and Phil!

Barre, and all who knew her have lost a treasure. Audrey & Jean Dorsey were friends when I was a girl. My love of horses was encouraged thru' them and Jennie Blaisdell & Helen Connington. My memories of people from "home" will always be treasured. Sincere sympathy to all who knew her special ways of giving... My Mom (Esther) will surely be among her welcoming party. My condolences to all

The Barre Community has lost a special lady. It's hard to find the words to describe Audrey. One would need pages to record all the things she did and people whose lives she touched through the years. I have many wonderful memories of time spent at the Carter-Stevens Farm as a young girl. Audrey taught me so much - from horseback riding and cleaning stalls, to fine needle work and baking "hermits." I will always be grateful to have known her.

There isnt enough I can say about Audrey. She took time out of her crazy busy days to help others If she didnt like something she didnt mince the words I recently went to Alaska. I left this past January. She said it was the stupidest thing she had heard in her whole life... someone going to AK in January. Always making us laugh. And what about the little-deerskin moccasins she made for all those new babies a labor of love. We will miss quick wit and skillful sewing projects, manicured gardens and loving heart. Love you Sis
