Several years ago Audrey retired from her full-time greenhouse business of raising perennials, mums, iris, and assorted plants when she moved from Wadsworth to Livonia. However, she never retired her green thumb and love for gardening. Her gardens in Livonia were well-tended and admired.

Over the years and in addition to gardening, Audrey enjoyed dancing, sewing, camping, playing cards, and watching her daughter compete in horse shows. Always an animal lover, Audrey also cherished the company of her dogs and especially her cats. She was a devout Catholic and maintained a close association with church and clergy even when her health made it difficult to attend regular mass in later years.
