Audrinne was employed as a waitress/hostess for several area restaurants, sold Avon products and owned and operated Jerry’s Inn with her husband for over 18 years.
Audrinne really enjoyed being around people. She would strike up a conversation with anyone. Everyone was her friend. She also had a special passion for her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In the summer she loved to play golf in the ladies league and attend many tournaments. She even hit a hole-in-one! She was an avid sports fan. She was the all-time pitcher in the backyard for all of the neighborhood kids.
Audrinne and Jerry loved to dance the polka and waltz.
