Audrey resumed her nursing career in 1974 at East Gate Lodge in Beausejour where she worked until retiring in 1988.

Audrey and Bert remained in Beausejour until Bert’s passing in 2017 and Audrey continued to reside there until moving to Red River Place in Selkirk in 2024.

Audrey will be remembered as an avid sports fan, particularly of baseball, but also curling, tennis, figure skating, hockey and basketball.
