Audrey volunteered for Meals on Wheels of Lancaster for many years. When she was younger, she was an avid bowler with the Hubley Toy League, the Retail Ladies League, the Lollipop League and the Sunday Night Mixers. Audrey was a member of St. Anne’s Catholic Church.
She is survived by one brother, Donald, husband of Esther Ruth of Salunga and two sisters, Thelma Shirk and Shirley Hornberger, both of Lancaster. She was preceded in death by her brothers, Harold and James Ruth and her sisters Arlene Aukamp and Grace Stoudt. Audrey is also survived by numerous nieces and nephews.
