Audrey passed away on September 27, 2021, at her home. She was 95 years old.
Audrey was known for her love of painting, she was a Bob Ross instructor for 35+ years, and loved to teach the joys of painting to anyone who wanted to learn because “anyone can paint!”
In her lifetime, she had over 40 different jobs from cake decorating, hair dressing, to selling encyclopedias. She was such a strong woman. The Native American culture was a true love of hers and she attended every Pow Wow she could get too.
She worked for the Territorial Dispatch for over 10 years delivering papers all over Yuba County. She loved that job so much she did it well into her 90’s and she was still driving!
To most that knew Audrey, she was lovingly referred t o as “Tutu”. Tutu, our beloved mother, grandmother, and friend always made sure everyone was thought of and cared for.
Tutu is survived by her 10 children, 26 grandchildren, 28 great grandchildren, and 8 great-great-grandchildren. Audrey will live on through each and everyone one of us.
Gone but never forgotten. We will see her in every sunrise and every sunset. She had a heart too big for her body and arms that would wrap around the world.
