Audrey was a dedicated and compassionate caregiver, working as a Continuing Care Assistant in home care, where she brought comfort and kindness to those in need. She also served in a vital role shuttling surgical supplies between hospitals with MBW Courier. Earlier in life, she worked for 15 years at Britex, where she formed many lasting friendships and built a foundation of hard work and dedication.

Briner; son, Christopher "Brett" (Meagan) Thomas; daughter, Erin (Chad) Walker; grandchildren, Courtney, Abigail, Kephren, and Kylie; and great-grandchildren, Kennedy, Violet, Penelope, and Charlotte and Ellaya.
