Audrey’s family was her pride and joy. She loved spending time with them above all else, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She never missed a Christmas concert, play, or sporting event. Audrey also spent a lot of time babysitting for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, which she thoroughly enjoyed. She also enjoyed gardening, quilting with the ladies at Littlefork Lutheran Church, completing puzzles, game nights, and traveling with friends and family in her younger years. Audrey liked crafting, especially making her trademark pinecone wreaths and Christmas decorations, and painting pictures (many of which ended up in her grandchildren’s rooms). She also took great pride in her garden and flower beds around her home and yard.
Audrey was preceded in death by her husband, Wesley Horne; parents, Otto and Esther Dreher; and brother and sister-in-law, Gerald (Aggie) Dreher.
