We were so very sorry to hear of Audrey's passing. Mom & Dad (Bob & Jean Jenkins) share many happy memories with your Mom & Dad and their time in the North. Audrey always shone with grace. Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. Cherish the wonderful memories...take care. Sue & Gary Gibbons and Bob Jenkins.
Audrey was most welcoming to me when I first moved to Penticton BC from St. Thomas Ontario in 1996. She was such a lovely woman, a most willing worker for the CWL She was missed when she moved to London to be with her daughter and more so now that she is no longer with us . My deepest sympathy go out to her daughter and all the family. She was a great lady and will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Carolyn Elliott
To the family of Audrey Belec. Audrey and Charlie were one of the first couples we got to know in Penticton. They were Ivan's Godparents and we had a lot of fun visiting.We always enjoyed Audrey's sense of humour and her down to earth attitude. After Charlie was gone she supported a small business that Bernice had and we had another excuse to have coffee or tea. She lost a hubcap from her car and it was really bugging her so on Mother's Day we took her to lunch and presented her with a new hubcap. We had a good laugh as she thought it was the most unusual Mother's Day gift she ever received. We thought of her often in the years she was in London and were sad to hear that she passed. She had a good life and a loving family. Love to all. Ivan and Bernice

So glad mum, that I got to spend the last few days of your life with you. Although the last 10 years or so you didn't always remember us, we will always remember you . You are finally at peace and hopefully soon to be reunited with all your loved ones who have gone before you. Say hi to my mum and dad for me! God bless and may you rest in peace. daughter-in-law Margaret
