Audrey C. Born

In loving memory of Audrey Born who found peace on September 5, 2023, at the age of 96. Audrey was born in Sheboygan, WI, the only child of Edward and Frieda Hirt. She attended schools there and became a hairdresser, where her skills benefited family and friends throughout her life. She enjoyed sewing and baking, and loved to pull out her accordion and play a lively polka to the enjoyment of everyone. She was a co-leader for her daughters’ Brownie and Girl Scout Troops and donated many hours of her time to the Evangelical Lutheran church of America.

Audrey was the cherished wife of the late Richard Born, sharing 58 years of unwavering love and devotion. She will forever remain in the hearts of her daughters, Shirley Kraemer and Diane (Don) Lindner, as well as in the memories of the other relatives and friends.

The Born family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the dedicated staff of Oak Creek Azura Memory Care/ Assisted Living and St Croix Hospice for their exceptional and compassionate care which brought comfort and solace to Audrey in her final days.

A heartfelt thank you is extended to Audrey’s former caregiver and “third daughter” Grace Gronostaj, for her enduring companionship and support.

In accordance with Audrey’s wishes, private family services will be held to honor her memory. Audrey’s legacy of love and kindness will forever resonate in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her.
