A graduate of Morris Central School, Audree worked as early as age 12 at the Village Library and served as Librarian from in recent years. A favorite part of her library tenure was spending time with young children and teen volunteers. In addition to her library work, she was also employed at times as a secretary and housekeeper and also tended children for several local families.

Sharon and Susan (Hootie) Emerson of Oneonta, and their brothers Mark and Ralph, members of Audree’s extended family, spent many days in her care and occupied a special place in her heart.

Audree’s family is appreciative of the excellent care she received from A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital and Fox Nursing Home. Many people provided help and support during Audree’s six-month illness, in particular her sister Sheila, Beth and Wayne Benjamin, and Bonnie Tracy.
