In 1947 their daughter Juanita was born, followed by their son Tom in 1948, then their daughter Pat was born in 1955, and Rich the youngest, born in 1965.

Audrey loved her family, she and Clyde enjoyed their kids and grandkids accepting them for who they are and encouraging them to be who they can be. Audrey loved her grand dogs and the many cats she had over the years making sure they had warm milk to drink on cold winter nights.   Audrey had a love of the outdoors and was an avid gardener caning and freezing many of the things she grew. She loved to go for drives and vacations just to look at the scenic views.   Her family loved the special attention she gave to Holidays by making crafts / decorations to celebrate them, the Afghans she knitted for the grand kids, and the ladies all looked forward to the wash cloths she would knit as Christmas presents every year. Audrey initiated many a game of Yahtzee or checkers and there were some very competitive matches of croquet that happened on many a summer afternoon.  After a hard day of work outside Audrey was always ready to drive to Syracuse for some ice cream even though she had a half gallon of vanilla and a half gallon of chocolate in the freezer. Audrey loved visitors usually had pudding ready to share.  Audrey was an independent thinker with a love of the Lord that lead her to leave the church her Mother played the organ in to attend the church across the street that more closely aligned with her understanding of the Lord. She had a daily devotional time took pride in being the spiritual help mate to her Pastor husband.  Her influence and prayers lead Rich to peruse pastoring also.  She loved being a part of many groups including a quilting group that she would drive back to Cook from York to be a part of.    She spent hours serving people by helping with Meals on Wheels. Audrey enjoyed traveling with her sister and the family trips that had a destination but not an itinerary.
