Audrey was born in Washington, PA, the daughter of Samuel and Susan (Hreha) Cole. She dedicated more than 38 years to Coyne Laundry, where she worked with loyalty and pride until her retirement in 2007.
A woman of quiet faith, Audrey attended Christ Episcopal Church in Rochdale. In her free time, she found joy in the simple pleasures – playing rummy, trying her luck with scratch tickets, and settling in to watch her favorite channels, MSNBC and the Hallmark Channel.
Above all else, Audrey cherished her family. Time spent together was what mattered most to her, and those moments will be lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
Her compassion and the quiet strength she shared with others will be deeply missed.
