Audrey V. Lee, 75, was received into the arms of her Savior, at 10:10 p.m. on Sunday, December 30, 2007. She passed into eternal life as she had wished, at home in the company of her loving family.

For 15 years, she and her daughter, Brenda, with whom she lived, had booths to sell their exquisite handiwork. She was a regular at the Marshall County Blueberry Festival since 1993. Audrey said once of her prodigious quilting talents, ?if it doesn?t move, I can quilt it!?
      
       Audrey loved to travel all over the world but especially enjoyed visiting her sons in Australia every year. No matter where she went, locally or abroad, her one true passion was giving her testimony of her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and all that He had done for her, right to the end, which she would tell to everyone she came into contact with.
