Audrey was born and raised in Rocky Mountain House, AB. As a young child the family moved to Ontario due to her mother’s health. Audrey returned to Alberta with her parents. Audrey and Ted Rahko were married February 28, 1952 and they lived and worked around the Rocky Mountain House area. They were blessed with five children. They moved to Fort St. James, BC in 1968 because of Audrey’s health.
Audrey spent the final three years of her life at the Stuart Nechako Manor in Vanderhoof, BC. She made many new friends and always enjoyed the activities, especially Bingo.

She will be remembered for her homemade bread, buns, and fried chicken. She always had the coffee pot on and you never left Audrey’s hungry.
