Audrey was born in Ocala, Florida to her parents Paul Monroe Woodard and Elsie Dott Howard Woodard. She loved her family and loved helping people when there was a need. She enjoyed sharing her faith and her testimony with her family and friends, praying for and visits from her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and all other family members and friends. She enjoyed gardening and always had the most gorgeous yard. She could be seen in her yard almost daily and had lots of people stop to admire her flowers and handywork. She loved being outdoors. She enjoyed visiting the springs in Florida and swimming in the consistently cold water. She, most of all, loved her family.
