   Feiler Family,
   Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time of loss of your loving Mom, a special friendly caring lady. She shared many stories with Mom (Marlene Sabelko) and I at Welcome Home. I loved when she'd be walking the halls and take a break outside Mom's room to visit, she truly loved to share her family stories. Many special memories to help heal your saddened hearts. The residents will miss her daily smile & socializing. With Sincere Sympathy, Jill Bennwitz & Marlene (Baier) Sabelko

   Dear Cousins and Loved Ones, I have so many wonderful memories of Aunt Audrey and the warm loving home she provided you with. She was always quick to join any conversation and equally quick to laughter. Loved having conversation with her. Also, as a youngster growing up I thought she made the best scrambled eggs with just the right amount of milk. Also it seems like if Mom wasn’t home after school I would find her sitting at your kitchen table drinking coffee with Audrey and maybe even Aunt Phyllis, imagine that. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say she was such a positve and influential part of my childhood. I know I’m not alone in believing that. We have all been blessed to have had her as a part of our lives.

    To my dear cousins,
    Your Mom was a very special lady. I think spunky is the perfect word to describe my Aunt Audrey!
    She sure lived a full and vibrant life!
    Losing someone we love is so extremely difficult, especially when it is one of our parents.
    However, I believe it will be all of your wonderful memories that will keep her alive as you move forward.
    I'm sure she is in heaven, dancing with the love of her life!!
    God bless,
    Julie and Roy

    May God comfort you an give you peace during the time of grief.

26. Rodney & Rebecca Gilles February 3, 2021, at 10:53am

    Our condolences to the family. As a nurse at Heritage of Elmwood Audrey had the ability to maintain discipline while garnering respect, not fear nor dislike. Marge Binkowski once remarked, "She made me a better CNA". It is a testament to her uniqueness that upon her retirement (maybe a little early due to computerizing the nursing notes) the staff, led by Gail Helmer, organized a fun, very well attended retirement party at the Coachman in her honor. Nobody else in the organization has ever received such a great send-off.
