As a young girl, she loved spending time with her older sister, her cousins and her beloved Uncle Bob. She especially enjoyed visits to Storybook Land at Wylie Park, Sica Hollow State Park and swimming outings with her parents, sister and cousins. Aunt Stacey Job came to live them when their mom became sick. She walked them to and from school, Sunday School and cared for them when Linda couldn’t any longer.

Throughout her life, Audra worked in a variety of roles. Most recently, she served as the manager at Family Dollar. She previously was a shift manager at the White House Inn and worked at Beadle Floral and The Eagles Club.
