While raising five sons, Audrey attended college; PCC, OSU & PSU, eventually earning her Masters degree in Chemistry. She put that degree to work at Mt. Hood Chemical.
Audrey loved traveling, both near and far. She frequently went camping with friends and family. She also enjoyed a few “once in a lifetime” overseas trips, most recently a cruise through the Panama Canal, gifted by her loving sons.
