Our beloved mother, grandmother and great grandmother, Audrey Grant, peacefully passed away on the evening of May 8, 2024. Audrey was 91 years old and was the heart and soul of our family and home. She guided our family with kindness and the perseverance it required.
Audrey was born on July 12, 1932 in Montreal, Quebec. She grew up in Verdun, where she met, and married the love of her life Archie, they were married for 47 years before Dad's passing in 2003. Together they were inseparable.
She raised three children Diane (Nader), Doug (Lori), Rob (predeceased 2018) (survived by Sandra), in a happy and loving home, teaching all how to be independent and thoughtful adults. She was adored by her eight grandchildren: Sarah (Chad), Taylor, Samantha, Matthew (Jen), Adam, Jennifer (Dean), Victoria (Jordan), and Stephanie; providing them an environment of constant encouragement and loving advice. She was so proud of all her grandchildren and never worried about telling everyone about how wonderful they were and boasting about their accomplishments. She was their greatest cheerleader and biggest fan. Audrey also had four great grandchildren: Avery, Brinley, Jaxson, and Penelope; all seen as angels bestowed to the family. Audrey also had a number of nieces and nephews, great nieces and nephews and great, great nieces and nephews, in Eastern Ontario and abroad in England and New Zealand.
For those that knew Mum, she was truly compassionate, a friend to those in need, an ear to listen and a shoulder to cry on. Her hand was always out to see how she could help, but not anyone’s pushover.
Mum, you will be dearly missed by all, but it is now time for you to reunite with Dad. Go in peace Mum and know that we’ll all be “Okay”.
