Audrey was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 19, later confirmed Lupus, but spent many decades over her lifetime still offering excellent care for her family, while working part-time at the local Kmart & providing patients meals from the cafeteria of St. Luke’s Hospital. Later baking her tasty favorites, including her famous “milk cake” for family and friends.

Even after becoming wheelchair bound in the early 90s, she enjoyed spending time with her family, and playing a game of cards or Yahtzee. She also credited Easter Seals with the many opportunities she was given to participate in her passions of painting, ceramics, and yearly trips to local Milwaukee festivals.
