They sold the business and retired in 1977. They spent many happy years traveling the country in their motor home until Vic passed away in 1997. Audrey's inability to hear somewhat limited her social activities, but her pride and joy was her family, especially her three granddaughters, Becky, Carli, and Brittany and her three great granddaughters, Hollie, Kyah and Fallon. She never missed attending their sporting events, dance recitals and other activities they were involved in throughout the years.
