An avid Hawkeye fan, she enjoyed watching them play football and basketball. When she could, she attended performances at Theatre Cedar Rapids and the Paramount. Audrey loved anything chocolate, it was her favorite treat. She also never met a dog or a cat she didn't like, and loved to take care of her cat, Kelly.
