Audrey enjoyed camping in their motor home and traveling to California in the winter with Chuck.
When in Spokane, she enjoyed the company of the “Priest River Girls” - friends from high school - and her “Birthday Bunch”, wives of retired Spokane Police Officers who became friends when their husbands were on the Police Department.
She enjoyed gardening and the neighborhood children who would keep her company while she was weeding.
Most of all, she enjoyed winning at the casino, which she did more often than not.
