Roberts, Audrey (Skinner) Johnson

After a prolonged battle with cancer, our beloved warrior Audrey Johnson Roberts, 73, passed away peacefully May 19th, 2022 surrounded by her family. She was a life-long resident of Higganum, CT. Audrey was preceded in death by her parents, Dorothy

(Butler) and Clifford Skinner, Sr., and her brother, Donald Skinner and is survived by her beloved husband, James (Skip) Roberts, wonderful children – Rick (Rene) Johnson, Jr., Steve (Liz) Johnson and Karen (Steve) Holcomb, stepson Jim (Lisa) Roberts and Jason Roberts, Grandson Dylan Roberts and brother Clifford Skinner Jr. Everyone knowing Audrey knew her precious love for Banjo and her Golden Grandkids –

Malibu, Dakota, Kaley, Fiona, Shelby and Sunny. Besides her adored family, she leaves behind other special people in her life- many referred to her as “Mommacita”. They know who they are and know she loved them. For

38 years Audrey worked in the Security Department at Middlesex Hospital where she was known as “Security Queen.” She always said she had the best job in the world. Audrey was a lifetime member of the Higganum United Methodist Church, member of CT Retreads and CCDL. Audrey loved riding her motorcycle and taking Skip's Spyder out on adventures with friends whenever she could. Audrey would love to yell out in happiness “Motorcycle Motorcycle!” every time one would pass by. Her motto was, “Ride to Eat – Eat to Ride” Every adventure on the motorcycle included lunch and ice cream. She loved taking pictures of everything – always said “no photo it didn't happen” – and of course the famous “One More One More” She always had to have the best shot possible. The Family Property – “Hooterville” was renowned for Pig Roasts where literally hundreds of people enjoyed this annual event – Audrey would be seen running around making sure everyone was having a great time and of course taking their picture, most often the pictures would be on Facebook before the party was over. Audrey loved her friends and family and that was obvious by her refrigerator which is literally covered by pictures of all her loved ones- if you were not on the fridge when you arrived it was certain your face would be there by the time you left! As in life she will continue to look over us. In lieu of flowers, those who wish may send memorial contributions to the Higganum United Methodist Church PO Box 475 Higganum CT 06441 or to the Haddam Volunteer Ambulance Service PO Box 48 Higganum. There will be a Celebration of life service at Higganum United Methodist Church 248 Saybrook Rd Higganum on June 4th at 11am. Special Thank you for

the staff at Middlesex Hospital South 7 for their incredible care of Audrey. To share memories or express
