Her beautiful smile and kindness filled every room she entered. She devoted her life to her family. She was extremely proud to be Mom to five daughters and the best grandma ever! Her family will forever cherish the countless memories. Audrey was born November 17, 1929, in Elizabeth Township to the late Otis and Thelma (Askew) Momeyer. She was a 1947 graduate of West Newton High where she played basketball. She met the love of her life on the square dance floor. Audrey and Bill married live on television on January 28, 1952, in New York City as part of the Bride and Groom show. Audrey was a devoted member of Rehoboth Presbyterian Church.
