Audrey was a great friend to so many and touched so many lives. She began her career with ATT in NYC and married Richard James Roehm who had a long career in law enforcement both in NYC and in Palm Beach County, FL. Audrey became a full time homemaker and excelled at that career. She once again rejoined the workforce with ATT and then with the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department until the care of her mother prohibited her from working. She was a wonderful caretaker and labored caring for her husband during his lengthy illness as well as opening her home and caring for her elderly mother. She loved her grandchildren and great grandchildren with all of her heart and lavished them with gifts on birthdays and Christmas never missing anyone and any date. Much to the chagrin of her children who had to deal with sugared up kids
, she relished having sweet treats for her grandchildren and great grandchildren
at her home
Her dog "Jack" was her prized possession and she again lavished treats on him and spoiled him unmercifully. "Jack" will now become adopted by one of her children and will be treated like Royalty.
Being a strong Catholic and embracing her faith with total abandon, Audrey instilled the love of God and the power of the Rosary to all. Every day she recited the Rosary and dedicated a decade of the Rosary to each of her four children and one for all the grandchildren and great grandchildren.
