YOUNG, Audrey Gladys (nee Jones) - Passed away peacefully at McNally House Hospice in Grimsby on Monday, January 13, 2020 in her 94th year. Loving wife of the late John Young (passed September 15, 2014) for 64 years. Beloved mother of Deborah and her husband Kip, Larry and his wife Janet, Steve and his wife Shelley. Proud grandmother to six grandchildren Kate, Kieran, Gregory, Paul, Stephanie and Colleen. Loving great grandmother to Deegan, Luca, Athena and Jack.
Audrey was born September 18, 1926 to the late Frederick and Pretoria Anne Jones in Niagara Falls. She attended High School in Niagara Falls and graduated as a registered nurse from Mack School of Nursing in St. Catharines. After having three children, Audrey enrolled in the University of Toronto and graduated from their Public Health program. For many years Audrey worked as a Public Health Nurse for York Region.
Some of Audrey’s happiest moments were when her bags were packed and she was travelling anywhere in the world. She enjoyed sharing amazing stories of her journeys to the Arctic and Antarctic. Her love of learning, experiencing new activities and cultures, and embracing adventure was one trademark of her personality. Audrey was very artistic and enjoyed knitting, quilting, and painting. Audrey was a terrific cook and shared her wonderful gift of gracious hospitality with so many people. She and John enjoyed many years running a Bed & Breakfast in Haliburton. Her warmth, caring personality, and terrific sense of style will be missed. A Celebration of Audrey’s Life will take place at a later date.
Those who wish may make a memorial donation to McNally House Hospice or the Canadian Cancer Society. Arrangements have been entrusted to MORGAN FUNERAL HOME, 415 Regent St. Niagara-on-the-Lake. Memories, photos and condolences may be shared at www.morganfuneral.com
