Audrey was born December 13, 1944 in Winnipeg, MB but grew up in Port Arthur (Thunder Bay), ON. Audrey will be forever remembered by her husband of 53 years, Dixon and son Christopher (Gwen).

Audrey was predeceased by her father Thomas Durnford, sister Carol Dufour, brother-in-law Ian Barrow, as well as by her grandfather Alfred Neal, grandmother Emily Neal and grandmother Emily Butt.

She would spend most weekends and vacations out at the cottage at Lester Beach where she would always have music on, enjoy her flowers, golf and entertain friends and family. Having a good time and laughter were the main objectives. Upon retiring, she moved out to the lake, where she got back into her arts and crafts, photography and socializing. Audrey also enjoyed volunteering at the local elementary school.

I had many wonderful hours shopping with Audrey as she added her touch and flair to her and Dixon's retirement home at the lake. She had a keen eye for the unusual which made shopping difficult at times, as she knew what she was looking for but sometimes it wasn't created yet! She had a genuine laugh and smile. She was a wonderful person to talk to and share stories. I will truly miss my friend Audrey. - Posted by: Joan Grandmont (Designer friend) on: Mar 23, 2018
